Okay so let me explain everything as crystal clear as I can.
I have recently read through some of the threads on here that have similar problems to what I am having but I would like to explain my situation in detail so you have an idea of what I exactly am dealing with. Last night my gf and I left our apartmnent to go to the store. She asked me to connect my iPod accessory cable in the back of the stereo, so as a result of this, it led me to have to pull out the stereo and connect the wire to the aux input on the back of it. Once I did that I was trying to run the cable to my glove box and when I was running the cable the stereo started to make a feedback sound so I pulled my hand out and when I did that the sound went away but came back when I put the unit back in it's place. So I pulled out the unit to check the wiring and everything appeared to look fine but something happened when I put the stereo back in, my interior lighting fuse blew. I didn't know this at that exact moment so I drove to wal mart and then when I parked usually the headlights turn off automatically if you leave them on when you get out of the car and this time they didn't. They stayed on and so I had to manually turn them off.
Came out of wal mart after about 15-20 mins and got in the car and backed out of the spot and driving no more then 10-15 feet I come to the first stop sign in the parking lot and the car dies. It tried to grab itself when the RPMs dropped but no success. So I restarted the car and drove around the parking lot for a few and everytime I came to a stop the car would try and grab itself but would have no success in staying on. I opened up the stereo again to check if any wires were crossing or had been improperly exposed and nothing so I took it out completely. Went to a gas station to put gas in and it did it again. The gas station I went to was about 35 mins away from where I was and I had no trouble getting there once I pulled out the stereo but when i got there trouble came back with a vengence. Once I started the car, it wouldn't stay on. It would start but wouldn't be able to stay on. This did this a few times and so I checked all my fuses and found the interior lighting one blew so I replaced it with one that was new. Got in the car started it and then it started up and was fine for running idle. Went around the block a few times and then the car seemed to be normal again. Drove home and went to sleep.
Then I went to the bank today and now I was trying to pull in and again when I slow down I am unsure if the car will live or if it wants to die. Sometimes it lives and other times I am restarting it. If I turn the wheel when I am slowing down to a stop, it's almost a guarantee that the car will die.
I am so lost on what it could be. The lights that come on the dash would be the battery light and the brake light. What could be my problem?
