i’d say before you go ripping your car apart to check your grounds…sometimes your connections get dirty or corroded or if you have a big draw on your system (the subs/amps) the stock grounding may not be big enough to carry the load back to youre battery…have you upgraded your grounds when you first installed your system???.. ---
