Problem for Lexus 1997 LS 400

With a 97 ls400, press the brakes, and everything shuts down.

By jjj8 on Aug 20, 2009

" "

When I press the brakes, the radio used to shut off, and then come back on when I released the brake. Just recently, when I touch the brakes, and come to a stop the radio, and all electronics shut down. This includes the engine. The car will start up after this, but it is real problem in stop and go traffic.
