Similarly to the earth also check the other end of the power cable. It attaches to a single bolt on the battery side of the firewall. Also check how well the cable is installed into the battery clamp. If wiggling the positive terminal is causing the inside lights to flicker (along with all your other symptoms) then I would drive to the nearest Auto parts store and buy a replacement positive lead. It's about a foot long with a battery clamp on one end and a eye on the other. It'll cost 10 bucks and will probably solve your issue.

Thx for all the help. I got it.

It was a loose ground cable. Cut off on me again. When I opened the hood instead of jumping it, I tightened the ground wire to the firewall and everything came on. No problems since.

So it wasnt the braille. I think the lil guy would work well if u dont have an audio system. I just wish the cust service guy made the suggestion ekam did. You really couldnt tell it was loose till u tried to move it.

The dealer mustve loosened it to install the braille and forgot to tighten it back. Looks like ill be doing as much DIY work as I can now. Until I find someone, I can trust myself to do it right.
