Ok, well i have a weird wiring problem

just wired up a radio i have, took it out cause i thought it was broken, but it ended up not being, wired it up correctly, and it only turns on when i turn on the headlights on( happens because my dimmer switch is bad, which is also the reason why my gauge cluster lights are out) but anyway, it only works while the driving lights are on, but it doesnt play threw the speakers???

started driving it more, and noticed that it skips on when i first hit the break, or when i first turn my wind shield wipers on(basically when i do something electrically)

anyone else has had the same problem?

That's really weird. Maybe you have a short somewhere? Make sure you're getting power on the accessory wire and the constant.
