On my way home from work today I noticed my car stereo turning off and turning back on again. I also noticed a high pitched whine coming from the speakers that increased with engine RPM. I thought something was going on my stereo, but then I noticed my car was actually turning off and back on while I was driving!
I knew this because the RPM needle would drop and the lights on the dash would come on. I revved my engine a few times and it seems to have gone away, but I will not be surprised if it's back tomorrow, possibly even worse this time.
Any ideas what this could be? I really do not want to get stranded, I'm out of state working over the summer and unfamiliar with the area. I'm assuming it's something electrical, so maybe the alternator is starting to go? I checked the battery terminal and my speaker hookups, I don't see any shorts.
thank you!!
