Hey guys, i'm having problems with my VX SS manual.

The cars stock apart from an exhaust and head unit.

I've noticed every now and then when i flash or flick my high beams on the radio cuts out for a second.

I also noticed today in the wet with the traction on if i put the foot down and the 'Low Traction' light came on the radio would cut out again.

Does anyone have any idea why or know how to fix it. I'll give anything a crack but i hate auto electric's..

Any help would be great thanks, Crash

sounds like your not getting enough power to your radio. i think youll find that if its something that draws alot of power that it will happen. check all your power leads, earth leads, terminals. i think youll find that it will happen with something like wipers to.

I've only just thought to reply o this post.
I checked the radio connections etc because it's got an aftermarket one in I put the clip in looms in and that was ok.
I ended tracking it back to the earth lead being slightly loose. I'm glad it wasn't much and thanks for everyone's help.
