What year first?

The OBDII code seems to indicate 96+.

Check fuses first, then maybe ignition key cylinder gone bad?

Very hard to trouble shoot electrical problems over the net. Especially bizarre ones.

Grounds are known to cause all kind of electrical issues on these rigs. I'd hunt them all down and make sure they're clean first...

Ahh yes, the one at the back on the passenger side no doubt.

That one has been a problem for many a 6.5'er. Seems the PCM is especially sensitive to that ground being bad....
