From the video it's not real clear what's going on from the moving and seeing the key on or in start position looks as if airbag light, traction control, engine over temp, and start fault light is on, seems to me like a network issue without any dtc it is going to be hard to diagnose. Do you have rat problems by chance? stating you don't drive it often rats may have chewed on a wire or two. I would check around the engine bay for droppings or foot prints from mice or rats. Just to make sure rodents did not cause a issue

I had considered that honestly, and did look around. Did not find anything that appeared very apparent. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nothing yet, haven't bothered with it. Been working a lot and I figure at least it isn't out in the salt haha. I'll be getting it towed to the dealership here soon.

They discovered a few destroyed wires in the main harness due to possibly a mouse. It turned into an insurance ordeal. Cheaper for me though, and a new wiring harness. They have had it for a few weeks, hoping soon it will be back.

Oh man! Don't you just hate those little critters. Looks like they could find something better to chew on.

Haha yes! At least they didn't chew up my Trans Am, or my Polaris ATV. I'm perfectly fine with the truck taking the hit as there is thousands more of those out there for replacement parts lol. I will however need to bait my garage a lot more though.

I had a wiring harness chewed up on my Snapper riding lawn mower 2 years ago. I don't remember the mice being this bad when I was younger. I go through 10 lbs of bait a year. Unbelievable.
