couldnt hurt to check.
they are all good and work fine. it was happening before i hooked them up. some said that a high output alt would fix but im not shure thats the prob. just needed to see if i was the only one having this prob

i have used a scan tool and it did't have any codes. checked all connections and the fuses. and used a voltage meter to check all the curcits can't find any thing out of the ordinary.
