When driving at night, i turn headlights on and dash lights up. When i drive a ways they go off. Seems like mostly when turning right and when i open door they go off until i turn control off then back on.

Here is the relay location and the wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
