Truck is Re-setting?

Well the other day my car seemed to re-set itself, and it seems to be happening again on occasion. Heres what happens. While I am listening to the radio, the soung will stop for a second, the headlights will flash, the little red security thing on the dash will flash, My u-haul trailer brake regulator will reset and blink, HERES THE KICKER: my parking break will turn on and make a grinding noise for like a second as well as the abs light. It is weird and I do not want to send it into the shop to check it out. I have aftermarket headlights, subs, and an aftermarket Head Unit.

That thing is possessed for sure! You don't need a mechanic, you need an exorcist.

well, if this has anything to do with it, the positive battery terminal is burning through the red cover. Discovered that today.
