99 Malibu 3.1L electrical problems
The other day I noticed that my lights would dim when I stepped on the brakes, and the radio (aftermarket Clarion) would turn off. It would come back on when I took my foot off the brake. Then the car started to die when I stepped on the brake. Now, after it dies or you turn the car off, it won't start again and the lights & warning lights won't come on, or are very dim. If you wait a few hours or over night, it will start. Could the brake light switch cause all of this, or should I look elsewhere? Maybe the ignition switch?

My first thought is what is the output voltage of the alternator? It is entirely possible for the alternator to stop charging and not turn on the "battery" light.

I went to Autozone and had them check the charging system. He said it was charging fine.
