Electrical problem 92 bird? Alternator?

Last night my 92 bird ran into a few problems. ie: when i pushed the brake the dash lights would dim, the power locks no longer worked and the pop up lights were screwy. The check engine light was NOT on. Anyone encounter this before, if so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Yea my car has done that before, It turns out my fuse box is gettin alittle wore out. loose terminals on the back side, but I can't remember which fuse. I think it was a red one in the middle of the box. lightly put my finger on it and rocked the fuse side to side and all kinds of stuff would light up or go out.

i will have a look at that, the problem is not so bad now though. when i push the brake, the gauge will blink along with the headlights. I may have a ground wire loose, i will have a look @ that fusebox, thanks.
