i have an 94 es 300,yesterday applying the brakes would cause the radio and ac to shut off for 2 to 3 seconds and the doors locked.happened 2 to 3 times then the car stalled.no power to starter from ignition but everything else works,lights,radio,locks,windows,etc battery seems good.is the a brake switch or relay that controlls the starter thru the key that is bad? thx for any help out there dave

Hey Dave...welcome to LOC!

Not sure about your problems...sounds like a short...maybe. Maybe check all of your battery cables? By the way I did remove the other post...we try not to allow duplicate post here. Thanks...and someone else will chime in here!

Cobia,

Bit confusing. One initially would suspect the brake switch as braking started shutting off your radio, but...

I took a brief look at schematics in my Haynes. Can't find the brake switch, but what seems to be sticking out like a sore thumb is the ign switch which could cause probs w/ radio, lights, and starter.

I agree, check all cables, you may even want to try kicking the starter w/ cables if you can get to it easily, direct from the battery, if that works, that suggests ign switch is bad.

When I bought my '94, the prior owner gave me all service records, and I was surprised to see replacement for the ign switch.
