This is really weird. My radio cuts out when I shift from park to any gear...power steering looses power occasionally and seat belt light comes on even when belts are fastened. All of these events are transient. BTHOOM. Any ideas??? This happens only when I shift from park to any gear.

BTW this happens with the ignition switch on and the engine NOT running as well. So it's not the belt or tensioner.
