Default wiring issues?

ok i have 2 problems that i need some help with. 1 ill be driving down the road with my heat on and the radio almost all the way up and my radio will cut out. ill turn the radio off then turn it back on and it will start playing again. then like 5-10 mins later it shuts off again WTF. now #2 the reading lights that are right by the rear view mirror will not come on when the door opens no matter what the little light switch is set on. sooooooo do you guys think that is may just be some lose wires or maybe blown fuses. i dont know and you guys know 2 heads are better than 1 so if you guys can give me some opinions on what you guys think it may be, it would help. thanks

'check ALL of your relays. I had two bad relays in one shot. It could be just my car or it could be all s's that sit unused for a while. I changed 100's of dollars worth of parts before I found out it was a 5 dollar relay.

Yeah, let me know if you need the FSM. It helped a lot when I was tracing back the wiring.

Check the radio wire/ground behind the deck, and try check for corrosion on the top lights. the top lights get water in them if the seals at the top arent working right, and they just get all corroded.
