That is the water in fuel light. Drain the fuel filter and try again. I would install a new filter and use a water removing product in the fuel tank.

yes that is all done already twice and same thing the WIF light may or may not come on again if it lights it will start no illumination no start

I suggest a Super Duty forum. I would buy a service manual and take a look at the WIF circuit to see how it works and what is connected.
