Electrial Problem
I'm having a strange electrical problem with my car. Maybe someone has some idea what's going on with it. The last few days, i'll be driving down the road and the radio will turn off and then turn back on again. Sometimes when i'll be coming to a stop, the dash lights will all come on and the car will stall. At night, the first time you turn on the headlights, the car stalls and there is no power for about two minutes, then everything returns to normal. Also, the lights go dim a lot of the time when I hit the brakes. I replaced the battery and alternator, made sure the battery cables are tight, etc. and the problem is still there. Anyone else have any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

I would guess you have a wire somewhere that is grounding itself out. Where to even begin to look I have no idea. I'd also check your grounds.
Again just a guess
