Ok this is one I think I have heard stories about. A wise man gave me a part and told me to hang onto it for this reason (I think).
Before I go and tear my column apart to change the signal stalk switch, listen to my story and see if you have a different idea.
Tonight driving my 86 with 71k on the dial. Went to make a left turn and hit the signal and the radio cut off for a sec ... just long enough to reset my cd player (in dash aftermarket). I have had this car since 90 and She is electrically sound (as good as any svo is) but she is getting to that age. Drove it for a while longer made several other lefts and rights no issue then it happened again. With a left signal. I have been able to do it 6 times total now so I think it is the signal stalk itself. I still have original ignition switch installed (for what its worth).
Second issue and not sure if it is related. My gauges are reading all over the place. I replaced the IVR on the back of the speedo a few years back and it solved it then. I just have been too lazy to order one. Since I got out of the parts business I have really been neglecting this car.
So... my question is do you think I am on the right track for the radio cut off or should I be looking somewhere else? I am just trying to save some beer.
