Bad alternator? or ground?
So I'm driving down and I turn on my lights, when I do that, the radio turns off.
Found it weird so I kept doing it for a while and kept on happening. (while I was driving)
while I was at idle, I'd rev the engine to check to see if the gauge cluster lights would dim. but it didn't seem like they were dimming. I think that's a way check if the alternator is going bad. I also turned on the A/C to full, but that didn't affect it at all
so any ideas of what it could be that makes the radio turn off when I hit the lights? is it just the radio that would turn off, or is it a ground?
please help
thanks
