My 2001 F 150 acts like the battery is dead but it was just tested and is in great condition. There is a clicking noise in the glove box area and the lights click on and off along with my gauges jumping around oddly when I first turn the key. The ignition is also fighting me but i think that may be a separate issues not sure. Truck totally acts dead. No lights, no sounds, no gauges, no crank, no windows, power locks dont work... but battery checks out good.... .

the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.

this sounds easy
now i under stand that your windows and lights are working but let me tell you somethig speciel
if you have a motor in an remote control car it is not running then you go and check it in a torch and it works this is why
a starter motor on a car uses a lot of power and is very high draw (takes alot from the battery)
a light or a power window motor uses less so it can provide the power needed where the starter motor needs more and it can not provide
hope you get what i mean
if i put a motor out of a corsa (1.4, 4 cylinder verry small motor) and put is in a bus it wont move it cause it is too hard
then if i put it in a go cart it will fly
tyr a new battery or see if you can borrow a friends to test it if it starts with a fully charges battery then all you need is a battery if not let me know more and i will do some home work for you

I would first have the alternator checked by an auto electrician to ensure it is working correctly and is providing the correct volume of current. It may be faulty and when driving you will be drawing battery power instead of power from the alternator to run the electrics. This will drain the battery.
Alternators do not last forever and if you are still running the original unit it is likely to be on it's last legs and you will need a replacement unit.
