Radio Shuts Off When I Press Brake Pedal

OK, this just started happening today, whenever I press down on my brake pedal, my radio just shuts off then comes back on.

Is it a short somewhere?
Is there a wire getting pinched?


Whats causing my radio to shutoff and come back on?

Stock or aftermarket radio ?

The radio and ctsy fuse are both completly independant circuits from the 'stop haz' fuse.

Radio circuit is switched via the ign switch and the ctsy is constant power.
Stop Haz fuse is an isolated circuit from either of the above.

Aftermarket Kenwood Radio.

Also, I did pop the "Tail" fuse today, (think that was it) when I was trying to replace the remote dimmer module, and I replaced it. Could I have possibly popped another one?
