Won't start

'03 4.6L Ext Cab
Is it possible to erase your key from the PATS system?
Did tune up and it started and ran for about 4 minutes and I shut it down.
seemed fine.
When I went to start it again the dash lights would turn on but when I twisted the key to start the dash lights would turn off and the starter would not engage.
Nothing.
When I released the key the dash lights would turn back on.
I'm checking for a blown fuse as I'm typing this.
Any suggestions?
TIA.

Charge the battery and get it load tested. Clean the battery terminals and the connections from the battery to the starter.

Has nothing to do with PATS.

Sounds like a bad battery , battery connection, or battery cable...
