Strange electrical issue
I have an intermittent electrical issue with my 96 DX 4 door civic. It just started up again so I decided to look on-line. What happens is while I'm driving and I use the brake, my head unit loses power for a split second and has to power on again (causing about a 10 second break in my music). I tried it at night and my head lights will dim a little bit at the same time this happens, again it is just for a split second. This happens when I push in the brake peddle about half an inch to an inch.

Check that the battery connections are secure and not corroded. Check that the ground wire from battery (-) is well connected to the frame and the engine/transmission. When the brake lights come on that causes a surge in the system that the battery needs to handle.
