OK...another question for the ages:

While driving with the lights on I get some ground loop whine only through the radio. At time, when I flash the hi-beams the entire system goes down then comes right back up with the battery icon being displayed but without actually re-booting.

To make it even more interesting, when this happened yesterday I got this horrible whine with the player on (not just the radio). And finally, after a while (15 min) the whine totally disappeared on the player.

Now, the easy answer is not to use the hi-beams...but for the sake of closure, would anybody have a probable solution. (I'm guessing there is a short in the dimmer wiring connection somewhere along the line)

Thanks

Ed

It's not necessary to cross-post in multiple forums. I'm locking this thread so that the identical one in the Installation Notes forum can be the main conversational thread on this topic.
