Can I have the program for that issue?
I'll re-arrange it to make the lights in front of me turn to green...

I would take a close look at your antenna. You might be grounded back there.

You ran both the hot AND ground back to the battery?

Usually, that's all it takes to clean everything up...

i didn't have enough wire at the time i put it in and just never got around to fixing something that worked (atleast till now). My XM is plugged in the switch and the CB is in the other one at the moment.... thinking running it to the fuse box may be a good idea now.

My Jeep's computer kept going out (made the jeep shut off and on) before I had the CB. I had the comp reflashed and it hasn't done it again!

never had a prob with it and the cb though. And trust me I have enough power in my Cb to make my microwave in side the house talk.

How many pills are you running. If you can make your microwave talk, then you can fry the jk computer.

Stray RF is not a good thing !!

As stated power and ground direct to the battery, you may also want to try grounding the radio's chasis as well.......

My system in my old F-150 could make cell phones go hay wire, 2 pill driving a 6 pill......

Rebeljennie and I were just joking around. Sounds like you could walk the dog in that F-150.
