Random loss of radio, power windows, and ac

So the problem started very seldom, whenever I would hit a big bump or accelerate to fast the radio would shut off then restart. Over time it started to get worse where now at any given time it will do so. Also when it happens sometimes the power windows stop working, and the ac stops blowing cold air for the duration of the power flicker. I've checked all the radio connecters and those are fine, battery connection is also good. I don't have any other ideas and any help would be appreciated.


Thank you

Have you checked the fuses?

Have you checked the other end of the battery cables - where the negative attaches to ground, and where the positive attaches to the starter solenoid? When you're checking fuses, look for any signs of corrosion or loose connections in the fuse panel. Especially any of the fatter wires coming in.

Several decades ago I had a car that would periodically shut off. I eventually traced the problem to a bad connection in the voltage regulator.
