Wierd Problem

Just had this happen and Im not sure what to do. I go to start the car and I get nothing. So I figured the battery died, I tested it and it was ok. I checked the alternator and it was ok. I just installed a new starter and its been working for about 4 months. I go and try to start the car 2 minutes later and it will start right up with no problems. But, my radio will tuyrn on and off like its losing power. I didnt change anything electrical recently. I checked all the wireing under the hood just to be sure nothing rattled loose. I dont know what else to check or if this is a easy fix problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

Steven

I'd suggest that you check the connections at the starter, including checking the fusible links connected there. It sounds like an intermittent connection.
