We have a very strange problem. When the antenna is plugged into the radio, and the interior lights are turned on, the fuse blows.

If you unplug the antenna and turn the interior lights on, the radio losses power. If you turn the interior lights off, the radio powers up.

Any idea where to start with this priblem?

Sounds like a short somewhere. One way to fix it for sure.....Wire the radio directly to another power source. Ive done this many times and it fixes the dimming lights problem.
