Default 98 xj electical ghosts

got a werid problem going on with my jeep that im not sure where to start looking to fix...problem is below

if you have radio on then use the drivers electric window the radio will cut out, this also happens sometimes with the wipers. also when you start up the jeep now and them the radio will cut power on and off a number of times. when this stuff happenings you can hear a relay or something under the dash going crazy but everytime i try to find it the jeep will never play up

is there a power supply type thing that links all these together?

i have had the alternator rebuilt not long ago, this was a problem before having this done. i have checked all fuses and they look good.

i plan on getting rid of the electric antena and putting a manual one in so it can be put down while offroad.

any help would be great

I have a 98 with the exact same issue. I have done everything besides replace the radio itself and the antenna. I ran a new ground to the radio. Fixed it just enough for me to get one station without static for some reason. If my radio goes out. The only way for me to get it back on sometimes is switch to cd for a couple seconds then switch back to fm. Good luck
