Most of the time when this happens the battery is bad and needs to be replaced, I would take the battery to the auto parts store for load testing. If the battery is okay check the hood switch, if the hood is open the truck will not crank and blink the lights. You must press the brake pedal before cranking, you probably know this but I need to mention it. Can I ask if the security light is flashing? I have seen the PATS system disable the starter and blink the lights as well. If you can lets do a CAN scan.

This will let us know for sure what is going on. Let us know how it goes, Ken
