try again latter, it might be because of the infamous main relay problem.

if it still continues make shure you check the ground wires all the obvious stuff first.

also unhook your baterie. let it set for like 30 min. then come back and hook it up. turn key see what happens.

or re-solder your existing one, takes 30 minutes max :thumb:

Here's what the relay looks like:

look for cracked solder joints, re-solder them and it's good :)
