Hello,

I have a Honda Civic HX 1997

It just started to happen lately that whenever I hit the brake pedal, my audio system shuts off. It was like suddenly the electricity got cut off from the audio system.

I was wondering if anybody could tell me what the problem is ? I believe it's not the battery since it's a pretty new battery.

Thanks

 

Is the audio system stock without any wiring modifications?

 

loose wiring ??

 

im having kind of a similar problem but when my brake pedal is pressed my interior lights dim down and head lights flicker weird

 

It's an after market audio system (blaupunkt)

I am not sure if there's any wiring modification.

 

Sounds like your alternator may be on the way out.

First charge your battery (some auto parts stores offer this as a free service) and clean the battery electrodes/connectors to see if the problem goes away.

 

As mentioned by basbal123, you may have a loose wire/connector. Check for a loose connector at the rear of the audio unit. Also look for a loose wire around the brake pedal (picture). You might be pulling on a wire when you press the pedal.

Alternatively, the audio unit is wired into the brake light system, and the latter circuit is now interfering with the former.

 

Thanks, I will check the wiring
