Thats what im going to try.
And I didnt mean for the title to blame DP in any way. I figured it was my fault in not cleaning properly, beacuse it says 95% of problems with them is related to that. I chose to buy one because they are one of the best companies on the market for tuners and wouldnt want to hurt that reputaion. I didnt realize it would cause everyone to throw a fit.

You could check you battery voltage with a DMV if you have one, or you could turn you headlights on and try to blow the horn. If you batteries are as weak as they sound, it should kill the lights and not blow the horn. One more thing, are you sure you got the firewall plug seated good and pulled up tight? Like Joe, I never disconnect the batteries when messing with my chip, although it's not going to hurt by doing so.

Cool. Thanks man. Do you know of any diesel clubs or anything of the nature in these parts? I've looked but havent had any luck. I just think itd be cool to collaberate all of the FTE guys from Indiana together somtime, or anyone thats into it from around here. Sorry all, this is a little OT.

UPDATE: the clicking noise is coming from what sounds to be the fuse box? under the dash. I have no idea what to do. Tried jumping it and it still does the sme thing...

What did you try jumping with? Most rigs won't provide enough amps across cables to be much good in jump starting, charging the batteries is best. Do you have any way to check battery voltage?

You might want to have a good look under the dash and make sure you didn't knock a wire loose on something else. I don't even know where to tell you to look, maybe the Throttle Position Sensor? one of the wires coming down the steering column? But you need to know your battery status first. Like I said earlier, a dead battery usually won't blow the horn and run the lights.
