    Weird short

    I have a short that only comes up when the lights are on - whenever I use the turn signal or touch the brakes (must be the brake lights...), power to my radio dips and it appears to very briefly turn off, but doesn't quite. Any thoughts on where the heck I even start to work my way backwards to find the source of the problem?

    You have a radio?

    Remove the radio, it must be the problem.

    Are you refering to the LR3 or the Series? I'm confused. Luckily it's nothing new.

      It's the IIA funny guy. I do tend to just turn off the radio, but I'd rather fix it...

        Do you have a generator or an alternator? I'd guess that you are putting too much load on the circut you tied the radio into. Try wiring the radio directly to the battery and see if that helps.
