if you are using the pull chain as a reset it doesnt sound like the remote, has it done this since installing or did it work at first? and what type of bulbs? and how many? did you do all the proper grounding? some of the newer electronic controls require the ground! it does sound like the protection is kicking in see if you can just take the light kit off and just replace it? the other thing you can do is take the light kit off and use a volt meter or a potential tester to see if the power gets killed with no load on it, that may tell you as well if its the protection.
