Default 2000 Ford Ranger Windshield Wipers Reset My Radio

So it isn't every time, but usually, when i turn my wipers on, it will reset my radio. My radio is not stock (it has happened to 2 radios) and i know the wiring is correct. Please Help!

Might be another case of a glitchy GEM module.

So I looked in my fuse box for an open fuse to run a relay off of. While I was in there I is covered that I was missing a fuse that covered part of the gem module. The problem with the wipers had gone away and everything is back as it should. Thank you guys for the help!
