Hitting pump causes ABS to flash and radio sound to stop...I hear static

[stephnel]

I have a 98' Camry (4cyl.). Lately when I hit any kind of bump in the road the ABS light flashes, the sound goes off on the radio and sometimes it appears that the car shuts down for a nano-second. Sometimes I hear a lot of static when this happens. I hear the static sound with the radio off...what's wrong? Help me someone

sounds like you may have a short somewhere. does it do it every time you go over a bump ?? Or intermittently

Try starting with cleaning off your battery terminals of corrosion with some baking soda and water. While you're in there make sure the cables are tight too. I had this issue till I finally replaced the lead for positive battery cable

It does it intermittently, it didn't happen today thus far.

i wonder if the contacts on your ignition switch are going bad .. When going over a bump it cuts the ignition off for a "nano-second" then gets contact again?

It might be the ignition switch. I don't know.

It might be the ignition switch. I don't understand why only the ABS light flashes and nothing else on the dash. I had my tires rotated a few weeks ago, do you think that could have something to do with it? It was really bad today, I thought the car would turn off during lunch. When the traffic light changed to green, the car was skipping bad like it turned off for 1 second and made contact...this happened 4 times...ugh.
