For about the past two months, most of the electronics in my car go off without warning at random times. It used to only happen when I hit a bump, now the radio turns off at random times and sometimes doesn't come back on for a while. Most of the time, the radio turns off for no reason, but comes right back on. Sometimes it will turn off and not come back on for a while, when that happens, the door locks, windshield wipers, and windows stop working with it. This is really starting to frustrate me because I'm tired of everything turning off about 5 or 6 times every morning. It's not the battery because I charged it and it only made things worse. This is dangerous because the wipers used to stop working while it was raining. What do you guys think?

Where can I get a fusible link? I'm not really a (trip to the dealership) type of guy.

Dealership will have it and it's like 79 cents or something. MAYBE $3 at a dealership trying to screw you. You can get one at NAPA or Advance too, just as cheap.

Does anyone have a picture of a fusible link? I need to know what I'm lookin to see when I go to buy one. I saw a wire fusible link on the NAPA website, is that what I need?

Take a look at this post by Qsilver7. The problem could be your ignition switch:

I took out the fusible link and wiped it off and put it back on, now everything works just fine. Nothing is cutting off anymore, I think it was loose before I took it oout, that might be what caused it. So no more problems with that. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
