Question for the masses. I did this mod with an aftermarket harness and it worked great. The truck has been parked for a couple months but yesterday we had a stork roll through. At some point, my headlights came on! WTF? When out and pulled the relay but my battery was too weak to start the truck. Charing my battery now to see what's up...suggestions?

If the stork came to your house you have bigger worries than a dead battery!

If there was a lightning strike close by, you might have had relay close due to static electricity.

If the relay got wet, this might cause it to short. Also you need to check if the trigger wire is hot. Is it getting power from somewhere else? As for the stork, well all I can say is be glad. It can always be worse, or you could end like me. My son passed away 2 1/2 years ago, and I will never have Grandchildren. Like I said, it can always be worse.
