ok, so im driving down the road and everything is working normally and all of a sudden my radio starts to kick on and off. while this is happening i also noticed that i could tap my breaks and my abs light would come on and then go back off. it done this for about 3 minutes and then stopped. after it stopped doing this everything was fine and started working normally agin...what could have possibly caused it to do this??

man, this day keeps getting better and better..

is there a simple diagram in existance that shows what wires are ran to the fuse box under the dash? i tried a haynes manual but im having a hard time reading it.

i havent done anything to the car, but the previous owner has. the previous owner put blacklights inside the car. when i was taking them out i noticed that he had mangled a lot of the wires behind the fuse box, but i thought i had fixed it. THOUGHT

something else that just started happening is my fuel pump has stopped working. the weird thing about it is i can either let the car sit for a while and it magically starts working, or i can fidget with the wires behind the fuse box and most of the time it starts working again.
