On an 88 TC, should the radio stay on with the running lights on? The radio goes off when I shut the running lights off.

lol sounds like you spliced into the wrong wire. is this something that just started happening? Ive seen radios turn off when the lights go on but not off.

Hmmm...I didnt touch anything. I just installed a Jensen CD player, but that was a few months ago. It just started doing it a few days ago. Oh well, its cool with me. I was about to compliment Ford on the nice "feature" they added to their cars. I guess its a wiring problem, but one I like!

Oh yeah, my low beams/dash lights go off whenever I turn on the foglights(the FLs dont come on either). Could that be a related problem?

The high beams dont stay on, you have to hold the lever to keep them on. The PO did the headlight relay mod, so Im wondering if one of those relays is bad? Also, I was reading about possible problems and Jeff K often mentioned a multifunction switch? IDK...

Update:
The problem with the headlights going off when the FL were turned on was that the FL switch wasnt getting power through the blue wire. Fed it some power from the HL switch and everythings working great now.
