Angry won't start and dash warning lights flash intermittently

Has anyone run across this issue? The truck sometimes will not start. if you wiggle or press fuses in the PDB, the truck may start, but not always and the dash warning lights flash on and off intermittently. There's no consistancy when this happens. I have 7 DTC's stored in the "STORED CODE" memory.
NO ACTIVE CODES.

u0001.... Can C Bus
u0141.... lost communication with front control module
u1403.... implausible fuel level signal
u110c.... lost fuel level message
u110e.... lost ambient temperature message
u1113.... lost a/c pressure message
u1417.... implausible left wheel distance signal received

Check the underside of your fuse block under the hood for corrosion. And look for loose or corroded grounds. This one definitely sounds like a ground issue.

I had a truck play games for a long time, turned out to be the main power lead attachment at the PDC, the nut was loose and had allowed some arcing to occur.

Also, check the body to frame/engine ground straps

Thanx

I will try that. I already started checking grounds.. I was looking to see if this is a common issue and what the cures were for it.
