Yeah, but I'm not sure what to think. I've never heard of this. I'll push it back to the top and look at some schematics.

Re:electrical problems?

Not much in choices here, bad ignition switch or possibly an aftermarket amp feeding back. I have seen the amp thing happen. Not to worry, it will ge worse before it needs to get repaired. You are getting a feedback from something. A year ago my headlights went out on the road. Hit the dimmer and they came back on, never happened again Jeez I shouldn't of said that [undecided]

Re:electrical problems?

spray some WD 40 or some contact cleaner down your key hole. Cant hurt it, maybe it'll fix it!
