Default 94 ZJ electrical problem. Help!

Every time the dome light comes on the radio resets. Radio won't work at all if dome light is on. Please help me with this. It's my wifes Jeep and you know how they can get. Thanks. The overhead consol lights in the front won't work either. They will if you turn them on with the push button but you can't turn them both on or they will dim really low.

I'm not very good with troubleshooting wiring issues, but this may help you sort out your problems. >->Jeep ZJ Wiring diagrams

It's factory. Could the wires in the door sock cause this?

It's possible. Also check the wires going into the Power Distribution Center under the hood.
