ford taurus 97 radio goes off..important is that power steering too..

[taurus97GL]

I have a ford taurus 1997 gl...81K...when I shift into rear the radio goes off..and sometimes it does the same thing when I shift into D. when the radio is off (it may happen while driving) sometimes it loses the power steering for few seconds..then after a while radio and power steering come on itself...Sometimes the door light is on ....even if all of the doors are closed..what can I do?what can the the problems?Just a probable shortcut ?(on where?) or a real hack?..thank you//

My brother in-law had the same thing happen to him and he said his mechanic replaced a module in the steering column. Cost him about $80.

Had the same problem, change the neutral safety switch.
