another problem with my truck :(

[olred90]

there's been another problem with my truck. this times its electrical. last week i put in a new radio in it and it worked fine but when the dome lght is turned off (while lights are on) the radio goes off. then once you turn the lights off, the radio comes back on. after that me and my dad have wired it up so many different ways and messed with the fuse box and it does the same thing. so today i took the wire we had hooked up straight from the batter and hooked it up to the power wire in the radio harness. the radio isnt a problem anymore but now the dashlights only come on when the dome light is turned on. what could the problem be?

sounds like a ground somewhere. if your getting power feed to where ever your having trouble, check for good grounds.
