ok have an electrical problem

only happens after driving in rain/sitting in rain
-when driving(in rain or after rain/water involved) if i indicate the radio restarts. or sometimes if i turn the lights on teh radio restarts.

-then turning the car off for the night results in a dead battery in the morning :evil:

the car is a 92 sierra, had driving lights wired in (dont work, terminals are corroded on relay) and has the clicky starter fix wiring. its a non stock radio.

if anyone could point me in the right direction, i would be extreamly greatful as its driving me nuts

I'd say that when its wet the water is getting in somewhere and shorting something out... Check all your connections are nicely insulated (grab some electrical tape) and give all the connections a good spray with WD40 to help keep the water out and stop any corrosion.

brandnew seal battery, bat terminals are new to, after jump starting it again today i noticed somthing

- after starting and driving through a car park everything was working, then went over a speed bump and felt water dripping on my feet, and the elect problems started again. so i am thinking it may have somthing to do with water getting under that dash.

- i also think teh alt is dead, i was getting 11.3 at teh battery with teh engien running

Sounds like it's holding water somewhere up there get a hose
And hose down and look for the leak
And the alt definitely sounds like it's dead

Fair enough I'd be looking for the leak and any terminals under the dash that would be getting wet and aren't insulated and fixing them up
