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.

or re-solder your existing one, takes 30 minutes max
Here's what the relay looks like:
look for cracked solder joints, re-solder them and it's good
