Default Electrical Issues

I need some help...
Almost every time I brake all my electrical components will turn off and instantly turn back on. For example I'm traveling on the highway at 70 mph, car in front of me brakes, I brake, and my radio, A/C, gages, lights, everything electrical turn off and instantly turn back on. I am not good with electrical issues, where should I begin looking? Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at the switch that is connected to the brake pedal. Sounds like its shorted out.

Same problem as everyone else that has had this problem. You'll find a lot of info using the search button and exploring threads about grounds.

Main ground cable from negative battery terminal is most likely corroding/corroded.

Replace and watch it go away.
