    Just started doing it this morning after flawless 500 + mile run. When making low speed left turns CB (dash mount on 05 VNL) and Sirius XM Roadie plugged into right side dash power point losing power for a few seconds. I have no check light.

    Also a few mins notes ago while on accessories power engine not running my wipers turned on did a single sweep. Have never see that before. Anyone seen these issues before? Maybe a bad ground or CB radio wire loose or a bad relay? Thanks!

    Sounds like wire getting pinched somewhere on steering column when turning wheel to left.

    Sounds to me like a loose connection, try gently shaking some wires, check to see if the 2 radios are sharing connections.

    Does sound like a big deal just time to chase out a bad install.

    I second the check the steering column....wires are probably stretching around u_joint in the column.Take the cover off under the column and check the wires. Buddy of mine had the same problem.They were wrapping themselves around the u_joint and the wires bared themselves and shorted out. That's an easy fix if that's what it is.
