I checked the "Common Problems" section and did some searching, however was unable to find my problem.
I drive a 1998 Contour SVT. Basicly for a little over a year the radio has just randomly cut out. It seemed to mostly happen in cold weather or if I hit a bump. Around the same time this started happening, my CD player stopped working so I took it to the Ford dealership. They replaced the CD player, assuming this would fix the cutting out problem, but it didn't. The cutting out problem wasn't really bad and I couldn't afford having them troubleshoot the problem, so I have just lived with it for the last year. Recently the radio would just shut off while sitting at a stop light, then come back on almost imediatly. I also noticed that the clock above the radio also would shut off at the same time. This morning I got into my car and the radio won't turn on at all.
Recently I had my battery replaced because it was old and not holding a charge, but that didn't fix the radio problem. I also have another issue, not sure if it is related, but when I go over 4500 RPMs, the battery light comes on and I notice a loss in electrical power...the headlights dim and the blower loses a little power.
Any ideas? Thanks!
