Headlights flashing??

So I awoke around 4AM and noticed my headlights were flashing on and off really fast and then they would just stay on.
At first, I thought maybe someone was in the truck so I waited, but there was no one there.
I went out to see if maybe the lights were left on but they were off. Had a hard time turning the truck on so I figured this light thing had been going on all night since I just replaced the battery.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes I do.

I wondered if it went off, but I sleep right above the drive way so the sound would have woken me up...

Are you certain the siren is working? Is it an aftermarke alarm or OEM?

It's aftermaket and I'm pretty sure it is working. Before I can turn the truck on I have to turn the alarm off by pressing unlock and it "chirps".

It "chirped" this morning when I turned it on.

I'll check again...

maybe it needs to be reset! My opinion is that it has something to do with the alarm but i don't know why it wouldn' t make a sound. Here is an idea set you alarm and make it go off (Kick the tire for example).

Okay well it chirps very lightly now and the truck won't turn on, battery is dead.

I'll jump start it and see if the alarm goes off. Now to wait for a jump....

Jumped started it and the head lights stay on even though the switch and automatic switch are turned off. Also, when I take the keys out, the Odometer and gauge lights still stay on.

Oh and yes the siren still works.

Called my friend JJ and he said it could be the relays so I'll try those...

Just randomly. Its worse now, even with it getting jump started it won't kick over. Even though all the lights (outside/inside/gauges) stay on.

BTW, while trying to open the engine fuse box I disconneted a wire by accident. Don't have any idea where it connects now . I'll post a pic in min of the wire...

Anyone know where that wire goes? It comes up from next to the fuse box by the fender.
