need help!

Went out to start my truck today and the injector driver module relay just started going nuts just as soon as you turn the key to the on position and it won't even try to fire when you start cranking it. I tryed swaping relay's but that din't help checked all the conections on the hpop everything seemd good I'm not really sure what to do or where to start. Truck is an 03 4x4 lariet 68,000 mi, auto mods are AIh delete exhaust superchips programmer 6637.

Sounds to me like your batteries are low.

The first thing to check when relays click is the condition of your batteries. Check them separately by disconnecting both negative cables. If they read less than 10.5 volts while cranking you will get a no start.

What they said^^^^^^^.Seems as though these trucks start doing funny things if the bats are low or loose connections.I would also start there.Making sure all connections are clean and tight.

Don't mean to be blunt but I don't no how to put this other then to say we've all heard this before. Check the voltage while cranking to be sure. Best way to eliminate battery condition as a possible problem.
