hi if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. i.m a toyota licenced technician and on my ramp right now is a 1999 mr2 roadster. the dash lights cut out as well as the power steering, abs, radio, clock, speedo, and rev counter when ever they feel like it or when i hit the brake pedal really hard. i've checked all earths and power supplies and it's alredy had audio bracket recall and loom checked for damage. i was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem like this thanks.....

Well, it sounds like you have more experience than me, but just in case it helps:

I had a car which collected water near electrical components, which then cut out under hard braking as the water went forward, or when it was hot and the water started to evaporate.

Second thing: Did you try with another Battery? Doubt it's the problem but it's usually cheap and easy to try.

I'm a bit puzzled though, are you sure it's not an Alfa or a Fiat? :-)
