K, so for some reason all of a sudden, my system is ok when I am parked sometimes and bump the stereo. But if I turn it up to 20 (when I used to be able to do it) the deck cuts out and then turns back on. The higher I turn it up, the more often it turns off. I tried to check the amp, cuz last time it was a fuse that connected to my car battery, and the amp was fine.

Anyone have this problem or know what it might be? It is really irritating. Happen more often when I am driving and I am not even hitting bumps or anything. It just started happening like 2 days ago.

Ok, took the battery to get replaced because it was low and still under warranty. Now I drive and drive side headlight turns off and on at times. Radio is still cutting out. Any idea what the problem is?

EDIT: Nevermind, I unplugged the battery while car was running and it shut off. I guess it is the alternator. Because I was told it was supposed to keep the car running and it's main function is to supply power to the vehicle.


Found the problem. Alternator belt was loose! Ran the test after tightening it, and it works just fine! Still going to run an amp test over the wires to make sure there is no short, but all is well now! WOOO!

Mods, yall can delete if you like.
