Ive searched over an hour trying to find a solution to my problem but still no luck.

But today my cd player started turning its self off and on so i thought it might just be the deck so i went and bought a new it was time anyways. But it wasnt the deck its still doing it and when i roll my windows up and down and even when i use my blinkers it cuts off. Anybody ever had this problem are kno of this problem

You need to go and make sure your wiring is good. Good connections. Good tape offs. Sounds like your wiring.

2 things wrong with this post.

1. a good or bad connection will not be an issue tied in with your windows going up and down or turning on your blinkers.2. tape should not be used when installing a car stereo.

It has to be an issue with your 12v constant wire or 12v ignition. Sounds like it has been re-wired and you are using a 12v wire that is also being used to power your windows, and blinkers, and when using the radio with one of these it doesnt have enough amps to power both. run new 12v constant from your ignition harness and 12v ignition from your ignition harness. this is very easily acessed under your steering column. good luck.

Are you absolutely sure it happens only when you do those things? Does it happen every time you do those things?

If not always, check to see if all the blue with white stripe wires are connected together. And at least use some wire nuts for crying out loud, and don't put tape around the nuts either.

In fact, use crimp nuts if you can, OK? You 240 bums are always half-as$ing it...

you call us 240 bums that half-a$$ it, and you made a statement with a deck install and wire nuts? or wait a statement about any vehicle wiring and wire nuts? wtf. check your blue and white wires? if you have a factory amp that might be it but hardly the problem due to the fact that its tied into an issue with other parts in the car taking current from the radio. makes me sick that you would call someone out on a subject you are so lost on. 19k posts and this is your response?

good for you op. now enjoy some tunes
