The turn signals did not work either and the entire radio system was turned off. I turned the car off and restarted it 3 times and finally the 3rd time it reset everything back to normal. What could the problem be?

1999 CONCORDE: check the battery terminals probably they are not tight enough...something like that happened to me just the lights turned on and the car seemed to be dead, the battery is still ok since then. I just needed to buy new terminals.

a bad control module.it controls inside lights and door locks.

Try cleaning the battery connectors at both ends and make sure the ground at the frame is clear of rust. If that check out, drop the starter and have it bench tested

Sounds like you might have a grounding issue. Start by checking behind the dash for proper grounding of your dash lilghts

Hello
The problem you are describing is common in the type of starter design this truck uses (and all GM cars and trucks), the starter solenoid has heavy copper contacts inside it that energize the starter when the plunger in the starter solenoid is pulled back by the magnetic field, that is the clicking or clunking you hear. To repair this you can either pull the starter out and replace the copper contact feet inside the solenoid on the starter or you can just install a rebuilt starter, which I suggest on cars and trucks with over 75,000 miles on the ticker. The starter is located at the bottom rear of the engine at the transmission bell housing, it is held in by two bolts to the engine block, disconnect the battery before starting any work and mark the wires remove from the starter solenoid, not marking them is the single biggest error you can make, there are only 3 or 4 wires but you can still get them mixed up. Rebuilt starter are very reasonably priced for most V8 engine used in the HD, the one exception is the Diesel. If you have time to wait for a part you can save about 40% over local parts stores by ordering from an Internet parts supplier called www.rockauto.com You can also buy a rebuilt kit here fo rthe solenoid. http://www.nationsautoelectric.com/Nippondenso.html
Below is a picture of the contacts that burn. There of course are two contacts.
