I walked by my truck and the door locks we locking and unlockin by their self and the theft light is flashing dim not bright. This started after my son left the klight on and killed the battery we charged it back up and the battery is fine. I keep hearing something like a relay behind the dash clicking everytime the locks lock and unlock. What can this be causeing this and what do I need to do to fix it. Thanks in advance

THE "LOST" COMPUTER RESULT MAY HAVE BEEN THE SAME FOR BOTH OF Y'ALL-HAD YOU UN-JEWGED IT BEFORE PRIOR TO CHARGING IT, EVERYTHING WOULDA FELL INTO PLACE. IF MR. BATTERY IS STILL FULLY CHARGED, MAYBE UN-JEWGING IT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN JEWGING IT BACK TO THE BATTERY POST MAY RESET YOUR COMPUTER AND THE GREMLINS WILL FLEE!

BASICALLY, NOT UN-JEWGING IT, LEFT THE COMPUTER STILL SENSING THE LOW VOLTAGE, EVEN WHEN YOU RECHARGED IT. A "JUMP START" PROBABLY WOULDA HAD THE SAME RESULT.

LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS OUT FOR YOU!
