battery, alternator and starter have been tested and all are in good condition. What else could it be? Maybe just a bad battery post/cable?

Disconnect both cables. Negative cable first. Use water and baking soda to clean any acid corrosion from the cables and battery. Now either use a wire brush to buff the posts and cable connectors so that they're nice and shiny. Reinstall the cables, positive cable first. If the problem persists check the connections at the other end of the cables. Even though posts and connectors look clean the may, opver time buid up an oxide coating which will cause a poor connection. The oxide is usually black so hard ro detect. If you don't have a wire brush they sell a battery post and cable cleaning brush at your auto parts store. One end is tapered to fit inside the connectors and the other is hollow to fit over the posts.

yeah...I would check the posts and cables...if you get new connectors they aren't hard to change. I had bad connecters and I had to jump my car all the time. and I went and got a new battery just to be sure and now my car runs like a champ.

Yank the battery and have it examined to work out in case you have a ineffective cellular, or if it only desires recharged. everytime you hook up a valid equipment you would be able to desire to isolate the battery from the equipment, because of the fact the stereo will suck the battery dry and the alternator won't fee the battery. observe this on account which you could destroy an alternator extremely speedy attempting to cost a battery to finished potential. you will desire to would desire to take your alternator to an armature save to have it produce a larger amperage to run the stereo. Now for the real difficulty. in case you get a clean battery, or you recharge the previous one, and a few days later a similar difficulty happens then you definately would desire to easily be constructive you under pressure out each little thing wisely. out of your fact with regards to the dish flickering you have a lose twine grounding on some thing inflicting a ineffective short.

Bad connection on the post to the battery. Pour a can of coke on it. But that has probably already been thought of.

If you got them tested at an autoparts store the equipment is rarely accurate and the people doing the tests sometimes dont know what they are doing.One of those parts may still be bad.
