Radio shuts off when I turn the lights off

Why is it when I turn my headlights or turn the interior lights off my radio turns off?? How do I fix this??

  • t_ratkowiak Dec 18, 2008

    When the lights are turned off the radio shuts off completely and then when the lights are turned back on the radio is able to turn on but has reset its elf, how do I fix this. It is the factory stereo that is doing this.

Does it actually turn off... or do the lites just go off... is that an aftermarket radio... it sounds like they have used the power wire that puts power to the display onto the power wire for running the radio.

Interior light turn off when the headlight are on and the locks, and radio also turn off when the headlight are on

Try replacing the headlight switch. Most of your probs should be resolved. The switch being bad will cause a short in the dash and cause alot of weird things. But that switch does control all of which you are describing including the radio, when you turn your headlights on it dims your radio !

All interior lights (overhead, radio, dashboard) blink

number one when you turn the ignition switch on make sure that the headlights are off the short is in the switch the rehostat in the switch which controls the interior lights are damaged and so the panel gets terribly hot.

Electrical problem

I just had the same issues. No headlights, interior lights, power door locks, radio controls on steering wheel, or dash lights. Pulled every fuse in cab and under hood, not a one was bad. I disconnected the battery terminals for a few minutes. When I reconnected them every thing was working.
