I own a 1999 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel 4x4. When truck is running and you turn on the lights the engine justs shuts down. I will restart right away and runs fine until you turn on the lights again. What could possibly be causing this. We have asked several different mechanics and they have no idea what the problem is.

Thank you.
