Weird wiring question
Over the summer, I had a Sirius Starbase satellite radio in my 2000 M6 Vert. It works great.
Well, now that its been getting colder, the windows tend to fog up. So, for the first time since I had the radio installed, I turned on my windshield defroster (pressed the defrost button on the dual electronic HVAC control), and the Sirius radio shuts off and won't turn back on. WHen I turn off the defroster, I can turn the Sirius radio back on with no problem. So, I apparantly can't listen to Sirius and defrost my windsheild at the same time. Like the title says: "wierd wiring question."
Anyone have any ideas how the installer might have mis-wired things? Any thoughts on what wires I need to uncross, rewire, relocate, etc. to fix this problem??? Advice would be welcomed.
Thanks.
