Deck turns OFF when PUSHING BRAKES!!! HELP!!!!!!

[scm320]

okay i changed my alternator and got a yellow top battery and a power cell because i thought it was because of a loss of power but it turns out its not losing power because i tested it but for some reason my deck will turn of when i use anything electrical mainly when i push the brakes and its really pissing me off because i have know clue what it is. im thinking maybe a fuse or something somewhere but i dont know where to look PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Where are your battery 12V and switched 12V sources for your deck coming from?

[scm320]

well i connected the 12v remomte straight to the ignition wire and the power was already connected when i bought the car

Your remote wire should be a red/yellow wire

Your ground wire should be a brown or black wire

your power wire should be a gray/red wire

come back when you can use proper english and sentence structure. i mean im no english wiz but holy crap!

it doesnt sound like anything is wired properly at all. you use the turn "remote" wire. that to me is the amp turn on wire which is blue in color coming off the head unit. lets review basic wires.
(these are all coming off the head unit (cd player)
yellow= 12volt lead. something that is "on" all the time.
red=switched lead. i.e. ignition wire. or something that gets power when the key is turned to on.
black= ground, if you dont know what this is, stop now.

if your deck is switching off at random it sounds like to me that something is breaking the circuit. so, use your test light and do some checking on those wires listed above. refer to the post above mine as to what wires they SHOULD be connected to.

So, let me get this straight..you spent $200+ on a yellow top Optima, a couple of hours swapping in a different alternator and bought a "power cell" (I assume you mean capacitor) to fix your deck shutting off?

A deck has 2 power wires and a ground...what the hell, man? We are talking about a 5 or 6 amp draw, MAXIMUM...you have something severely wrong.

Normally, I would be glad to offer advice, but clearly, you are over your head.

I strongly advise you hire a professional installer. I don't mean this as a "slam" or whatever, I really mean you should seek a true professionals' help.

I thought those colors were reversed, but its been awhile since I installed a deck.

No, he was right.

My mistake i said remote wire i meant the 12v wire for the ignition and the reason i got a new battery and a power cell not a capasitor is because i have two amps and three re subs which each need about 800 wats to run them, my power cell is 300x stronger than a capasitor but besides that its all wired properly i took it to someone else and they still dont know what the deal is

Thanks to the people who actually helped instead of pointing the obviouse and being rude! I figured it out. i had to take the dash apart and fallow the wires and it turned out that there was a cut in the wires from someting and they kept touching when i would brake so i rewired it and its fine now. thanks again all two of you!
