1 out of 10, crank but no dashboard lights at all.

[E3501997]

Hi guys, I have been reading you for a couple of months now.

own a E350 1997

1 out of 10, crank but no dashboard lights at all. I mean no wts light, no warning lights at all. Then I try a couple times and more and then lights are cycling, wts is cycling normally and truck starts normally. The truck never dies while driving. I a little afraid because I will use this E350 1997 mostly in Canadian winter. brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have 2 brand new batteries, charging system ok, bought truck at 148000 miles

thanks
