radio cutting off

[ShadetreeSHOguy]

about a month back when i had my intake off i had my battery out of my car (dont ask), and i had it sitting on the ground. My dad said sometimes that can drain the charge out of it, i pretty much brushed it off because it was only on the ground for like 3 hours but now every time i have my radion on halfway loud w/the wipers on and lights on the radio resets , and i can barely have the radio with the car off w/out it reseting, so did me having the battery out of the car cause a dead cell in the battery, or whats goin on?

Have you tested the battery when the car is off? And running? You should have around 12.6 volts when off and 13-14 when the car is running. This will give you an idea weather or not the alt or batt is going south. Or you could go to an autozone or something that will test for free.

radio problems

I had a 93 that that would happen to all the time. I would put a cd in and the power would cut out and reset, my new 94 with just the stock tape deck will do the same thing. for me in the 93 that was the first for a number of electrical problems that eventually took out my lights, power locks. I had someone tell me that most electrical problems stem from the alarm system that comes stock with the car. talk to an electrical guy, he might be able to help. Mine was the computer panel in the trunk that caused everything and cost me $800.00 to replace them all was well

I've had a problem like this but the battery cable fittings were losing connection. It was also having a problem starting every once in a while. Atleast thats all I can think of.
