Lights give problem to radio signal?!

[OG-Unleashed]

So when i drive at night when my lights are on i usually drive with my fog lights on, and lately idk when this started but when my fog lights are on i get a ton of static in my radio signal...and i get a little when my headlights are on.....but when theyre off its crystal clear...what could this be from?!

Have your altenator checked. I think its noise from that.

If the static varies with engine RPM...it may be the alternator or maybe a bad wire or bad ground... probably an engine ground strap.

If the static is constant and does NOT vary with engine RPM...it is probably a bad ground on one of the lights.

i changed my alternator to a 200amp about 4 months ago and this just started but it is just a steady static , doesnt vary from the engine rpm

Dollars to donuts there is a grounding problem.

for the radio signal when the lights turn on? how

 

[Fordfanatic101]

Its most likely your HID ballast George there are know to do that try making a shield for them or relocating them

I agree with the grounding issue. I had the same static that changed with RPM's with my CB.

It could also be related to the new alternator. Check and clean all the major ground. All it takes is one to get a bit loose then oxidize a bit.

Aside from the possible grounding issue I would also run to autozone and get the battery load tested. I think it is free so it wouldn't hurt to check.

Same here, where was your ground issue?
