Zack, did you check for eny engine codes?

I believe there is a jumper in the underdash fuse box that will trigger the dash light to flash a code, then you can google the code and see what pops up...

maybe its the relay or the ecu... try unplugging the ecu and the battery for an hour.
plug everything back in and check it again... sometimes a hard reset takes care of little gremlins
