Question Bad ground?

Every now and then my radio just completely shuts off and when it does i cant roll down my windows either. It used to rarely happen but now my radio is hardly ever on because of this problem would this be because of a bad ground or what? If so where would this ground be at?

im about 97.654% sure that that is a problem with your BCM, pretty common around here (including me). there is a writeup in the stickies for this section that should help out a ton. probably not a ground problem though

i had a couple of cracked solder joints on my bcm. i re-soldered them and the problems went away.
