When i step on the brake i get a brake light on the dash intermittently.
The power to the ignition switch will short out and my car will essentially act like i have turned the ignition into the off position while the motor is running (turning my headlights/radio off etc)

Somehow this is not allowing the alternator current to reach my battery.

any clues are greatly appreciated

When it stops, will it restart again straight away?
