[layedouton22z]

7.3l turbo 99standard cab 2wd...not consistently but about once a week i get in the truck and when i turn the key it has a clicking sound while the engine cranks over...sounds just like when it starts normally but when i get the clicking sound it will not start...i have to turn the key about 7-8 times...i thought about a relay or something but dont know much about them..and the batteries seem to be fully charged...and also where is the inside cab buzzer that dings like if you have the keys in and door open...mine dings all the time and i have no clue...thanks ahead of time...you guys always come through!!!!

if its dinging all the time something is shorting out and killing your batts.

You can remove the key cylinder and place a piece of electrical tape over the exterior contact. This will stop the dinging. I did this to mine. 35 seconds if you are good.
