Family,
With the wipers on full, the radio cuts out and comes back on, then cuts out (I am assuming when the motor needs more "load" it sucks the power from the radio). Am I overloading the Alternator??? I have a very small (1985) Blaukpunkt (sp) radio that ain't no boomer. This can also happen at night when I switch to my high beamers. Comments/solutions anyone? T |

Thats correct, you must have a bad connection or two somewhere to cause the radio to cut out.
