Won't start
I thought of that already. I did get a new 850cca battery a few months ago. I have a Kenwood head unit that displays the gauges and before the truck stalled it was reading 14.2v, and it displays 11.6v when I tried starting it. I have power to everything (brake lights, headlights, stereo, dash cam, etc) so I wouldn't think its a battery issue. Just not sure why the "check brake system" warning would come on, ding 3 times and then go off. It just started acting this spastic today and never had these problems before.
Have the battery tested.

Thanks I'll try that. Unfortunately everything by me is closed now. Would a jumpstart work? I was just outside rechecking all the fuses and they're good.
How long ago did you install that flasher? Can you rip it out to get back to the factory set-up? It shouldn't be the cause of it not starting, but the timing seems so coincidental..
Good luck brother. What lousy timing.

Just tried to jumpstart it again but same results. I'm stumped.
I had just put it in yesterday and shortly after that is when I'd be driving, the "check brake system" message would come on and off. Stopped after the 3rd time it did it and took the flasher out. Ran fine for a bit and then went for another drive, got about a mile from the in-laws and the truck stalled and wouldn't restart. Now when I put the key in and try starting the truck, the battery light comes on the screen and chimes 3x, then a few seconds later the service advance Trac message comes on with the chime but the truck doesn't start. I hear the fuel pump and a relay clicking from the passenger kick panel but nothing else. All my lights work and the radio works also.
