1998 Lexus LS 400 I’m hoping this is the fiX to the reason my radio cuts out when I hit the brakes. Sometimes the speedometer doesn’t work for the first 5-10 mins into a drive but then kicks in. Also lights flicker and humming noise is made coming from radio I believe. Seems to me like when the battery has a good charge on it that all of the electrical components like the radio and the speedometer are all working well but if I let my car sit for 24 hours or more sometimes it doesn’t wanna start due to the battery being drained. Now I don’t know if there is something that is drawing power when the car is off but it wouldn’t surprise me if there is something doing that which is causing the battery to drain. But once I jump start the battery car starts right up and at first the electrical components are having their issues like the radio shutting off when I hit the brake and the lights and the radio Flickering and the speedometer sometimes not working but once I’m Driving for a good amount of time and the alternator has had time to charge up the battery those issues all go away. Hope I’m in the right place and on the right path to finding a solution if anyone out there has any ideas please let me know. I understand this Is an old forum thread but if you happen to stumble across this post, please feel free to lend Some Good advice. Thanks, Brandon
