Default Went Christmas Shopping, and No Start!!

Yes, as weird as this may seem....it did happen. To beat it all, I was parked about 150 yards away from the store and had walked to my truck in the rain. I was supposed to go back and pick up my wife so she wouldn't have to walk in the mess. I got in, stuck the key in, turned as normal, and it would do a few short turnovers, and no fire. Gauge cluster had a message to "check gauges".....no ****, right?

So I ended up trying it about 3 different times, no luck. Took the keys completely out, put it back in, turned and VOILA....fired right up....!!!

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Mine wouldn't start yesterday. I couldn't even unlock the doors, battery was dead from sitting I haven't started my truck in about three weeks I couldn't find my battery charger so I jumped it with my car and drove it around, seems ok but I need to test my battery now to see if it's getting weak on me.
