I have an intermittent fault affecting car stereo speakers (all 4, front & rear) only. Road bumps will cause tape radio or cd to loose speaker output TOTALLY.

Radio tape cd remains operative with full front display. Slamming passenger door (or tailgate) can bring back audio. It is not I.C.E. unit as I have tried 3 different ones. It would appear to be intermittent.

Joint or multiway connector associated with ALL 4 speakers but schematic in Haynes indicated only 1 multiway connector (behind I.C.E.) and this seems fine. Any suggestions at all please?

Also, sometimes when flashing headlights with lights off but engine running and always doing the same with engine off - Power is temporarily starved to I.C.E. Again any suggestions greatfully received, thanks!

Run a new earth lead from the chasis of the radio to the car body.

Should be 2 power supplies,one is ignition fed,main power supply.the other is permanent smaller cable(sometimes used as permanent supply)which is wrong-permanent supply is used for keeping memmory...if used as permanent supply ie radio used without ign in acc/mode this may be the problem,need to check where the supply is coming from
