Stereo Static and Flickering Lights

[SHO Mojo]

Oh great electrics-gurus!!!

My 1991 SHO (which I just purchased BTW) is exhibiting some strange phenomena, all of which seem linked together:

(1) Whenever I go over harsh bumps there is:

(a) Brief static through the radio (a JVC unit)
(b) A "clicking" sound (think solenoid switching off/on) in the center portion of the dash, and
(c) The dash clock backlight flickering dim to bright (and vice-versa)

(2) I can duplicate this problem by banging on the top center of the dash with my hand.

My first thought would be that something isnt wel grounded, but I wouldn't know where to begin looking, or maybe it is another problem I'm unable to think of.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS???

Thanks for any and all help!

You have an intermittent electrical connection.

Only way to find it is to pull the stereo out and start wiggling wires until you find it.

It very well may be a bad ground connection, only some perserverence will likely find it.
