Yes, just what I said 4 posts earlier. Not rocket surgery.It is caused by a voltage drop. Move the power to a new location. Pull it from the small fuse box under the dash.

I am not going to say that I know everthing about radar dectector installation.I don't agree with the voltage drop. My STi had the issue with the horn, I sent the Passport to Escort and got it fixed. When I installed my Supertones, it returned. However, during some acceleration pulls it would do it as well, lights on, or lights off, stereo on, or stereo off, etc. I think it's some sort of frequency issue.
This jives with what I said in the other thread that was referenced and what I think is probably going on here:I don't agree with the voltage drop.

FWIW, I had my BEL hardwired in the car and never once had a problem and I had a Stebel Nautilus. So I don't think it's voltage drop either; still, I guess it's worth a shot. I'd probably take a reading with a meter at the detector end, if that's possible.Me said:My friend has the same problem with his X50 every time he accelerates. It is not an isolated incident. You have to send it to Escort for repair. Check this thread: Escort X50 Radar Detector Issues... - evolutionm.net
