Message My radio keeps shutting off and on but only when pressed the brake on
the car. The HICAS light would come on when I pressed in the brake to
stop for a slit second. The radio would shut off/power on at the same
time as the HICAS light came on. So I just tapped the brake pedal very
lightly not enough to make the car stop even slightly just enough to
make the brake lights come on and the radio would shut off/power on
again and the HICAS light lit up for a second again. I put in a new
battery and put in new battery cables and it is still doing it. I tested out
the alternator at auto zone and it read fine. I do not know maybe one of
the brushes in the alternator might be going bad or there is some kind of
grounding issue going on? Please let me know if you might have some
insight on what is going on. thanks
