Default Help PLEASE!!!

Hi - I bought my 3rd 2000 Camaro this weekend. I've owned 2 in the past and never had this problem. I'm thinking it's a short somewhere (but where)? Sometimes the power windows and the radio goes off at the same time, I hit the power locks a few times and the go back on. I also checked the fuses...they seem fine. Any suggestions?

There is a rubber boot between the front of the door and the door hinge pillar that has wiring to the door running inside it. Next time the car acts up, try giving that boot a good wiggle and see if anything changes. If it works, you have a broken wire (not uncommon to happen). I don't know why the radio wiring would be affected if that is the issue, but it's somewhere to start looking anyway.

I've had this issue for a little over 2 years now. I haven't really looked into it. I just wait patiently for her to come back to life.

If you do find a cure, be sure to share.

I haven't had a problem with it since the weekend, wish me luck! Thanks for the advice! Do you happen to know a good cleaner for the front head light? They are really aged and dull looking.
