Radio static
I have searched and searched but had no luck. When I turn my headlights on my stereo gets really static and can't find radio stations at all it also happens when I roll down the windows just not as bad. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the alternator. Anyone else had this problem?

RE: Radio static
Sounds like you're experiencing a voltage drop. You can try cleaning all your connections, battery, ground, battey to chassis and your radio ground. Also the aluminium on these ATC fuses will sometimes crode a bit so pull your radio fuse and check the blades.
The surest way to cure it is to run a seperate fusedfeed from the battery to the radio. Use a relay connected to your switch to make sure you don't drain the battery accidently. An 18awg stranded will carry about 16 amps. I used 12 awg stranded on my set up (20+ amps)
