my radio in my car goes on and off while driving.Also the power windows won’t work during the time the radio is off. I know my alarm is hooked into both. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

They’ve been making Camaros, on and off, for more than 40 years.

How old is yours?

I’m going to suggest there’s a loose connection in the alarm system or radio wiring.

Did the alarm system come with the car when new (from the factory), or was it put in after the car was purchased.

Your alarm system doesn’t turn the radio or windows off.  
The radio and windows share a common power circuit. That’s where you need to look.
