Only sometimes get dash lights (1 out of 10-20 times?) and won't crank at all. Disconnected both batteries and held together the passenger side leads for about 20-30 seconds. Reconnected batteries and tried starting. Sounded like the starter went to engage for about a half second then nothing and back to square one.
I am having the same issue starting today. It was cranking over and the batteries were weak so I charged them and went to start it and it cranked real fast the just stopped and now no power to the dash cluster and it doesn't start. Any ideas?

No I used a wire brush on them and cleaned them up when I charged the batteries. I did however put a new battery in and the process. I changed the signal and wiper switch today as well and after I changed it, I got all the dash lights working again. I went to start it and it tried to crank but just went back to square one. I decided to take the new battery out and now the truck starts and the dash lights work again. Strange
