Angry Haunted Eletrical System!!!

Okay i'm driving home from the football game last night and my radio just turns off then about two seconds later it comes back on, it did this at least every 15 seconds, coulsn't figure out why? Then if i turn my lights on or the first time i turn my brights on the radio turns off for about 2 seconds. Can anybody help me figure out whats wrong?

If it is a newer radio did you some how tap into a contstant power that corresponds with your lights. I would check your constant power going to your radio.

check the grounds, the most commonly overlooked portion of an electrical circuit is the ground, and in my experience, if it is acting funny, and not really consistant, the ground has a bad connection.

I agree on checking the ground and other connections.
How did the football game turn out? I haven't heard anything yet.
Are you going to be able to go to Ark City?

Winfield lost 6-28? or around there. Didn't make it to the Ark City game yesterday. It is a new radio and we tapped it into constant power. I'll check the ground as soon as it happens again. It hasn't acted up since.
