Also, the rear speakers have gone out. They are in perfectly good condition. They used to cut in and out, but it totally stopped. I tested the power and there is no power going to the connectors. What do I do to find were the problem is without gutting the car?
Now that I've edited your posts to better understand the issue, what exactly shuts off when you turn the lights on? Which lights are you turning on? The dome lights, or the headlights?

For your second problem use a multimeter to follow the wires until you find the short.

well when i turn the headlights on everything cuts off dash lights, the lights and the engine and everything else and nothing will start. the first time was 10 minutes ans the second time it happened, before i set it in the back yard, lasted about an hour before it let me turn anything on. the last time was a week ago it started about 10 days ago. before that i used it regularly.
