Weird electrical problem that is gradually getting worse 98 Trans Am...Started off with the radio randomly turning off then turning back on, did this for a few years. Within the past year is had gotten a lot worse, now the radio rarely turns on and if it does trying to roll down the windows turns it off. And the windows won't roll down at all now regardless. The dome light would always flicker slightly along with the headlights, very faintly though. Now the passenger side headlights won't work, tried testing for continuity and nothing. No idea what it could be.
Only thing I think it could be is something with the aftermarket radio or steering wheel control adapter, because I did notice after having it installed the controls to control the temp, ac, and all that stopped lighting up even though it still would work. I have tried unplugging the radio to see if that helped and still the same problem.

The radio and power window issues are probably due to the BCM. Most-likely, the "T" solder cracked and needs to be repaired.
The headlights are probably a different issue though.
