Lights need to be turned on multiple times

[Crono0001]

Update. Removed ALL ballasts. Radio still giving DC OFFSET ERROR. Not too sure about the lights. The most aggravating problem is that it is not reproducible.


Please advise.



PS: It seems that turning the engine off after it's been running a while, keeping the electricity on, and restarting the radio (factory settings) fixes the radio problem. However, it goes back to DC OFFSET ERROR PROTECT mode randomly.

I did some research and it's usually coupled with the fact that one of the speakers have blown. This is incorrect as all my speakers still work. This problem is taking pieces of my sanity.

I still think it has something to do with your ballast and bulbs. May be that the high frequency has damaged the stereo. I think its time to make a call to Kenwood. good luck.

On aside note my last stereo would lose a lot of reception on the radio when my HID lights were on. Like I said some stereos are better than others when it comes to power filters.

You can build your own power filter with a couple of capacitors, check out a stereo/electronic forum for more that.

Crono, sorry to revive your thread but. I have the same kind of after market headlights and I just realized that the driving lights on the passenger side did not want to turn on.
And now it's ME who's losing my sanity.
When I would turn on the lights at night, in their reflection agains my house I would see something "turn off" when turning on the low beams. So i would turn the lights off and on again and i would seem to correct the problem, but i never knew if that was what it was turning off as i never got out of the car to check.
And now I'm left wondering.....
