Radio switching off and on and lights flickering - Now baffled

Hi All,

I am getting really baffled about this odd problem.. The Radio switches off whenever the revs drop below 1000 and then comes back on again, and sometimes when anything else is switched on it will go off and on again too, also the lights flicker too but when the car has run for 30 mins or so, all is good !

I've replaced the ignition switch, checked the Alternator, Battery, connections to Radio, Instrument Cluster, Grounds including Engine Ground and even driven with a meter connected to check for Voltage drops or spikes etc.

The main power to the Radio doesn't drop off completely as the Radio never asks for the Code. Battery Voltage is a constant 13.9v with engine running and never drops below 12.5v when left for a few days.

I've read many posts where people have the same or similar problems but never seen a post where someone has finally cracked the problem !

Anyone with any words of wisdom or any advise please ? This is driving me bonkers !

Forgot to say, this is a 98 with 168,000 and still running strong !

Thanks Guys !
