Answer
Hi Henry,

You're right, it's almost certainly a ground looping issue.  In a 16 year old car, some of your grounds and copper starts to corrode and not make such a good connection anymore.

You might want to start in the engine bay, and check your ground wires  Look for corrosion, and bad terminals, and replace them.
