Parts have been ordered. Got the LBJ today.
Was driving home last night and I hit a bump and the radio went out. It came right back on. Kept driving, then the radio went out again and stayed out. A few seconds later the airbag light flashed three times (bad circuit), then my alternator light would come on dimly and fade out and my headlights started to fade. I got it home and parked her. I'm hoping it the battery terminals not getting a good connection as the negative has never been able to really be tight on there and you could pull it off with your hand.
It drained the battery overnight (new battery) and I jumped it today after shimming the terminal with some aluminum foil (like it was when I bought it) and it worked. Got down the road and the same symptoms came back and the car almost stalled. Got it back in the driveway and it immediately switched back to acting normal and the radio came back on....
