For some strange reason my celi has been developing a worsening symptom. Quite inconveniently when I press the brake pedal (even lightly) all of the electronics in the car will occasionally cut out for a moment. Not a huge deal during the day, nothing more than an annoyance really since it only causes my deck to reset. However, at night it can be downright dangerous when all my lights cut out, even for a second.
Any thoughts as to what might cause something like this? -------------------- |

Check the battery terminals. My car did this once, found out my negative lead snapped and was moving off connection when the weight shifted from braking. Other than that Im not sure, tho, someone else will proabably have a remedy. -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

Alternator is fine. Started the car, disconnected the battery it stayed running strong. I did check for ground issues around the battery but I'm not really seeing anything. I get a feeling this problem my run deeper.

Check for burnt wires and loose wires in the engine bay, I had this problem in my celi when I swapped the engine. More than likely you might be getting a short somewhere.

Yea looking like I'm just going to have to get my hands on a wiring diagram. Trace all the wires around and see what I can see.
