hey guys.... for a while now iv had an intermittent cut out of my radio and windows... when ever my radio cuts out my windows stop working... if the radio comes back on the windows will start working again.... according to the ground diagrams the radio and window circuits share the same ground so that would explain why they go out together.... but i cant figure out why they go out... i havent traced the wires behind the dash yet but under the dash and behind the radio look good... (its an aftermarket radio "alpine").... its so intermittent that there is no patter when it cuts out and when it doesnt.... its not the wires in the door i checked them because i know on older cars they rot out and break after the years... just today i was messing with it and the key was on for maybe 3 minutes while i was removing the head unit and i took it out and man was this thing hot... i thought that was weird (it wasnt on either).... i cant get my windows to stop working with the radio harness disconnected so right now im leaning toward a faulty radio... because it was soo hot and the fact that my windows work with it disconnected... but again its not a cirtain thing and id hate to buy a new radio and have the same thing continue so is there any input that you guys can give me? have any of you come accross this before? BTW its the car in the sig 97 formula... thanks in advance
