My radio cuts out and turns back on when i switch on the sidelights/parking lights, brakes and hazzard light. just brought a new battery yesterday and had to jump that battarty today. The alternator is good because I disconnected the battery and the car was still running. Any suggestions please ?

 

I'll guess a new radio has been installed? If so double check the wires.

 

its gonna be something with the wires on the radio...did u do the wiring?.

 

had the car checked out for electical problems. NONE. Turn out it was the battery and the negative cable was not tight enough. This was the third battery in 2 days I got from R&S Strauss. After replacing my dead battery with the 1st new battery, the car would not crank. Put the old battery back in and it cranked but after turning it off it would not crank Jumpped it with the new battery and it started. Took the cable back off the old battery, while the car was still running, (not an alternator problem) put the new battery back in and drove to the R&S Strauss. Cut the car off and tried to restart but would not. Got the 2nd battery from the auto store it cranked and worked for 1 day and had to jump start the 2nd battery. Went to my mechanic who checked the car for electrical problem and he said it was the battery and the negative cable was not tight enough. He also said that if the battery sits on the shelf for a while, it losses it cranking power. Went back to R&S Strauss got a 3rd battery, showed them my reciept from my mechanic,. Off course they said i had an electical problem and told me that this was the last battery I was getting from them, ON WARRENTY. Well the 3rd battery works fine now. and the cables are tighly connected.
