Transmission started slipping going into 2nd gear and then going back to 2nd gear. My husband changed the fuse on the turn signals (which stopped working when it started slipping)It started slipping again, turn signals dont work again. What is going on here? Also, when you turn the headlights on the radio gets quieter, and gets louder when you turn the headlights off. Electrical problem?

check your ground on teh left rear fender and back of engine. the turn signal also poweres the transmission mode switch. there are two ground on the back of theengine make sure they are clean and there is another for the winter/summer switch under the console. any of these coud lbe broken or dirty. Also it could be a bad mode switch it self. if it still does it have it professionally looked at.

Check for shorting of the turn signal circuit as the fuse seems to be blowing.
