The radio only works when the parking or headlights are on. What is the cause?

Asked by valedickvale Jun 23, 2013 at 07:51 PM about the 1992 Honda Accord LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

If the lights are off, the radio does not work. If the parking lights or the headlights are on, the radio works fine. This problem just started on its own. I checked all the fuses and nothing is amiss. I cannot determine the cause of the problem.

I have a 1980 Honda Accord start and runs great with or with out AC, wipers and Stereo on. But when the headlights are turned on the engine starts to die, if headlights are turned off before engine dies the engine takes off and runs great. The other thing is the dish lights come on when the breaks are applied, this will also cause engine to start to die. Please help where should I look to correct this? 2 Answers
