05 5.4 PATS issue? crank, no/intermittent start. Lots done!

I feel like I’ve been searching for days. So I have a crank no start issue. Sometimes it starts sometimes it don’t.

Erratic rapid flashing theft light& wrench light to the same beat. Also noise by the fuel tank at that same beat.

I just keep cycling until it starts up then everything is normal. Runs and drives great.

Shows code p2107 on scanner.

U900 and U950 on the HEC test

What I've done.
FPDM
Swapped PCM relay
Checked fuses none blown
PATS tranceiever
New key
Throttle body motor (mechanic advice) he also checked fuel pressure, crank sensors and spark.
Reseat cluster connection
Reseat PCM connection

One dealer said they don’t want to mess with it. I’m at a loss here except trying another dealer. Anything anyone has seen or heard of lately?

You may have to find a good mechanic who knows how to use a scanner and is competent at troubleshooting circuits. If you live in NY, I suggest you take it to South Main Auto Repair or Pine Hollow Diagnostics. I've been watching their videos and they solve some complex problems.

I'd suspect a scanner is going to be of limited use in this case.

U900 and U950 on the HEC test
Are you certain about those codes? Perhaps U1900 & U1950 instead?

Erratic rapid flashing theft light& wrench light to the same beat. Also noise by the fuel tank at that same beat.
Okay, this is intriguing. Can you, perhaps, do some more investigation as to the absolute source of that noise "by the fuel tank"? Is it coming from inside the tank or from something immediately adjacent to the tank. If so, what? You'll probably have to crawl under there while someone operates the key repeatedly.

Is there any history about what happened when the issue first occurred and immediately prior?
