Mach 460 + Brakes = Turning off?

[merc123]

I posted about this a while back. Today I have narrowed it down. When I would press on the brakes it would either go dim or totally turn off. Then after a few seconds come back on. It is also sometimes hard starting as if the alt is dying.

maybe it was the alt. i was gonna say that until i saw u mentioned it.

do ur lights go dim when sitting still idling?

Bad alt due to low amp output............

Forgive me if this sounds obvious, but the Mach 460 has a setting for speed sensitive sound. IE, if it is set at it's highest setting, the volume will decrease dramatically with braking. Are you sure you don't have this feature turned on?

If the screen is dimming, it's not that feature. How do you turn it on anyway?

push in the volume/power button and hold it down until it says speed volum and then use the selector to set how sensitive u want it

thank you, the owners manual implies pushing in the AM/FM button

Go to auto parts store have them test your alt

No. ****ing. Way.

I always hoped it had that feature, but never knew it did. You're the man.
