Strange Electrical Gremlin

I've noticed that on my 83 Z28 when I either turn off, turn on, or completely dim the lights, the sound shuts off on my stereo for about 3 seconds. Not the power, only the sound. The headlight switch and dimmer switch were replaced recently, and the h/u is wired correctly, not a hack job. Any clue what could be causing this?

Was the headlight switch replaced because the dash lights didn’t illuminate?

If
YES, dash light voltage is getting into a place on the radio where it does not belong.

If
NO, and the H/U really is correct the radio is defective.

Bring it to a radio repair shop.


Happy Racing!

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead. Right grandma?

How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!
