Did someone mess with the wiring? What was the last thing did to your car? Or did it just start doing it?

Since the wiring has the radio tied into it....I would start there if you have an aftermarket radio.

^^ he's probably right^^

This kept happening to me and after hours of frustration I found the short on the previous owners "home-made" (absolute shit) wiring harness to the aftermarket radio

this kept happening to me, so i went ahead and made sure all the grounds in the entire car were good.. took some time

Best way to find a short is break out the testing euipment.....test light and voltmeter.

If you have a power probe it will really help things.
