Default HELP NEEDED!!!!!!! Electrical problem through out the car!!!

ok guys i need every 1's help, info and advice on whati should do. heres the story:

i was drivin in a hurry to get to a movie and after i get off the exit my car dies in 2nd(im in daylight by the way). i pull over and try to start but nutting then i turn off the radio and hear this clickin noise. my a my buddy who works at a shop get out and look for this noise. turns out it was coming from the fan relays. weird. i take those out and the car comes to life after a couple of starts, but as i was gettin out of the car i hit the left signal and the car dies. all the lil icons come on and go off like it was strobing. after i turn it bak on and try right side nuttin it works perfectly then i put the relays bak on and the car turns on right away but when u hit the left signal the car dies.


so i take it up to the dealership and let them toy around for it for about half a day and they tell me that they dont want to mess with it seeing that i have aftermarket stuff on my car. alarm system with remote start, a double din screen and a switch that controls the dvd part of the headunit to allow me to roll and watch without the e-brak up. the switch is only conecting to a ground wire. so i said fine i will take it to the place that installed everything to see if any of that was causing the problem.


after i picked up the car from the dealership i had a parade to go to where i was in it with my car and fellow scikotics. well during the parade my car dies right in the middle!!! seeing how i got it to start the last time i took the relays out nd drove with out the fans but then the car started to get hot. so i pulled over and let it cool down and took it to the alarm shop. they looked at it saying they never seen anything like that, and that he would play around with different options to c if anything worked. he said their wouldnt b a way for the remote start to make that kind of problem happen because it was just plug and play, but the alram would effect the starter relay not the fan relays. well he took out the remote start and the alarm and the problem still there.


so im at the dealership again and telling them that it has to be somthing eternal because everything is out thats aftermarket except the hids. they have had it now for 2days and just now they said it might be the hids. but everytime its died the car hasnt had the hids on nor is the left signal light connected to the hids.


so i need some help, does any1 noe or heard anything like this before? i think the dealership is pretty much gonna blame the hids on it which i had them on over a yr and not 1 problem has happened with them. any info would be great \


sorry for the long post just want every 1 to know what has happened.

I take it you have a manual trans. Since you have a starter for it, i would make sure that the starteR is hooked up correctly to the correct wires in the harness and not crossed with anything at all. other then this, i am totally stumped. Did you get a LED gauge swap done at all?
