HELP! 1990 Honda EF Si Clock dimming out

I'm having problems with my clock.. When I step on the brakes it dims out

when I release the brake it lights up again WTF!

I disconnected my driver side taillight harness and step on the brakes it won't dim at all. So it must have to do with the drivers side tail lamp connection. Please help its really annoying!

No its not my alternator or battery..Its faulty or loose connection. I step on the brake and the clock time disappears. When I let up, the clock comes back on. Its as if the brake pedal is an ON and Off switch for the clock!
