Re: CRX dies when you hit the brake
That doesn't look like youtube.
Does it actually die, or does the tach just drop to zero for funsies? It's confusing that you mention both, because if the engine shuts off then yes, the tach will drop.
Does this happen regardless of context? I.E. when slowing down for a stop and also just sitting still at idle?
Are you able to hold the throttle to keep the car from dying, or does it choke regardless of throttle position?
Have you gotten a CEL? Are there codes on the ECU?
What are the added electronics in the car? Certainly appears you have some based on the light and button to the left of the column.

Re: CRX dies when you hit the brake
Car runs fine, while I’m driving at any speed all those things happen at once when I tap the brake
nothing has been added
strange x files activities!
Tack drops and bounces, Radio turns off, battery light comes on while the car still runs perfect
put in a new alternator last year

Re: CRX dies when you hit the brake
An LED powered by a separate battery with no use or purpose? How avant-garde.
Definitely seems to be an intermittent short/open. Check the brake switch first to make sure it is working properly. Check all ground points, especially the one by your steering column. You would be wise to obtain a mutli-meter if you don't already have one.

Re: CRX dies when you hit the brake
So today went all thru the fuses all are ok under the steering column and in the engine compartment
I figured out that my right blinker is out, at first I was thinking burnt out bulb,,, nope when I turn on the headlights on both bulbs are fine.
Second thing the the car can jump start no Problem
and with jumper cables it starts right up but the car can not start on it’s own
when the car is driving tack is on zero no sound coming out of the speakers but stereo is on, and the battery light is on 80% of the time
send HELP!
