So sometimes when i turn on my lights the truck dies, and other times it wont. If it does die i start it back up wait a minute and the lights will turn on. Anyone might know why this is happening??

Do you have HIDS in it? mine did that to me and i switched to a edge evolution programer and it stopped.

yes i do have hid's in it actually. why would it matter what chip i have on it or not?

Okay so now it started to do it almost every time. I cleaned the battery terminals, still does it. So i unplugged my chip and now everything works. What the heck could be the problem??????

the hid's are interfering with the chip. there are a couple threads about the issue.

So from what i am reading is that i should hook up a relay to my HID's and connect them to the passenger side battery. Is this true??

relay wont help. its the insulation on your chip wire that is the problem. its not keeping the interference out of your chip thus causing it to go haywire
