hazards/ headlight sprayers shut off engine?

[agp1183]

Whenever I hit the hazards or the headlight sprayers with the headlights on, the engine shuts off. Doesn't happen with the headlights off. When I am driving, I will lose all power and coast everytime the hazards flash or the sprayers try to kick on. With the car off, I can hear the headlight sprayer relay buzzing.

Another problem that might be related is that both front turn signals come on when i turn on either signal, left or right. The rears work fine. When the headlights are off, the front turn signals are really dim, but the rears are fine.

I am totally lost on this one... anyone have any ideas?:1zhelp:

That is a little odd. Somehow you are providing a seperate ground for the ignition or EFI, before the load component. Or something like that. Any aftermarket electronics been installed?

Does it restart immediately?

it does restart immediately, and no I dont have any aftermarket electronics. I did just swap this motor in, though.

Check your headlamp relays. They can cause some REALLY funky symptoms if they go bad... I had a relay go bad in my Solara... The car would stall whenever I had the lights on, a turn signal on AND my rear window defrost on... If I had my lights on and I used one of the two (either a turn signal OR the rear window defrost) my drivers side headlamp would dim completely out... but as soon as I put the other on as well the car would completely stall out, whether driving or idling...
