Hey all.. i will let you in on a little problem that just started happening to me today. .
So here i am driving down the road and i go to make a turn having my stereo turned up as always.. i hit the brakes.. and pop.. there goes my radio fuse in my truck.. ok whatever no biggie.. so i replace the fuse on the spot.. start driving and hit the brakes to stop and pop.. there goes the fuse again.. so i go home with the fuse blown.. and look over the wiring.. and nothing seems to be wrong.. i even re-wire my deck so i made sure nothing was hooked up wrong.. then when i go to hook it up.. i have no accessory power when i turn the key.. i was like what the Fuk.. then i realized.. oh yea the fuse is blown.. so i replace it then try it again.. works fine but as soon as i hit the brakes the fuse pops.. so what i did was i cut the accessory wire from the harness.. and wire a new line from another accessory spot and run it to the deck with a 10a inline fuse.. so its working off of another accessory power line now.. anyways same thing happenes.. it blows the fuse in the line i ran from the accessory.. But it only happens when i hit the brakes.. now why is it popping fuses.. i didnt think or still do think that the brakes are hooked upto an accessory power.. or is it.. ??
Is there a possibility there is a problem with my brake wiring.. or what is it.. i dont get it.. its always either the radio fuse that pops.. or they way i have it hooked now.. with the inline fuse.. Any help would be appreciated if someone knows what im trying to say here.. I really need to get this fixed or im going to run my dak into a pole..

I will check that but i dunno.. its fine.. if i put a new fuse in.. start my truck.. play my music as loud as i want.. but if i touch my brake pedal and push it down.. pop there goes the fuse.. and of course off goes my deck because there is no accessory power going to it..

Make sure when you are applying the brake , that you are not pinching any wires with the pedel itself. I did that in a '84 Olds Firenza.

It may sound like you have a bad ground. When your checking wires w/a voltmeter make sure you have all lighting and accesories turned on! If you meter a lighting wire (or ACC) it will show resistance(ground) until you turn it on, then it will show +12v! It is a common mistake that most people make by using one of those wires thinking that it may be a ground, but its not!. Always rule out your lighting wiring first before continuing. If your deck has a dimmer option, use the vehicle lighting wire that does not change voltage when playing w/the dimmer sw(instrument cluster lighting). It sounds like you have the deck ground connected to the factory dimmer sw

I am having the same problem, but not just when I hit the brakes. My fuse blows intermittantly. It definately seems to be a short to ground.
Does any have schematics or identified test points for this cicuit? (Radio/Dome)
