Well that is interesting I can't say that this didn't happen before I
got my radio installed by Best buy but it did and I installed my last
radio and it didn't nearly happen as frequently, I would say once in a
blue moon. Now it is like every other day and I feel like it may be
linked to the new radio install but wouldn't that be closer to
touching the ignition wire than alternator. Maybe it is time for a
new alternator, any tricks to troubleshooting to see what the culprit
is?
