Electrical Problem
Everytime I go out for a drive my speakers stop working in the car but the radio stays on. When that happens it seems that my brake lights stop working too. When the radio goes out I go and look and the lights stop then the sound will randomly come back on then go back off. Sometimes my tail lamps go on and off while the lights are on. Something is majorly screwed up and I have no idea what it is. I just changed every bulb in the tail lamps and the fuses for them too. Any ideas?

Re: Electrical Problem (ElectronBlueC3)
Definetly sounds like a ground problem to me. It sounds like many different circuits are being affected by movement(loose or dirty connection). All these circuits share one COMMON thing, GROUND.

Re: Electrical Problem (LAvetteman)
How can I find all of the damn grounds these cars have? The one thing I HATE messing with are electronics. I do not know anything about them except a little bit about computers. Any suggestions??
BTW: Thanks for your help with the battery drain problem too. I'm gonna look more into that in a bit.
