The past couple of days i've been having an issue with my stereo turning on and off. Sometimes when I push the clutch in, sometimes when I hit a bump and sometimes just randomly. I've been guessing it's a bad ground but never got around to looking.
Tonight it got progressively worse to the point where it just flashes on and off but doesn't stay one or the other. I turn the car back on and now the battery and brake dash lights are dimly lit. They get brighter under acceleration or deceleration but never reach full brightness. I've learned that this is indicative of an alternator problem.
I am wondering if this stereo problem maybe put extra stress on the alternator, or if these two problems are just coincidental? Any info on either problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you
