I have a 97 gs-t. It appears i am having an electrical problem. When I purchased the car it came with a boost controller, turbo timer, and eclipse navi/dvd stereo system. When I am driving and put the volume up high the screen goes blank an then after a few seconds it comes back on, same place in the song. If I lower the volume it is fine. Things that make the problem worse or more frequent are : breaking and air conditioner. I have also noticed that if my stereo is on (higher volume) and i try to do something like roll up the windows while closing the moon roof, the moon roof wont close until i lower the volume or finish the windows.

I'm assuming i am using too much of the electrical power with all of these devices hooked up. Correct me if i am wrong. What can i do to solve this problem, if this is even the problem at all?
 
my moneys on the alt, take it off get it tested at a local auto parts store and if its bad get a new one with at LEAST a one year unlimited warranty. our cars like to eat alternates so get one with a good warranty.
 
Ok thanks, Ill look to do that this weekend, Ill post back.
