Ok ok, I know I should have cleaned the connections before I post this message, but this is really bothering me.
I just installed a new CD player and it turns itself off whenever I pull to a stop. To be exact, whenever I disengage the clutch and press the brake. Also whenever I engage reverse.
I've checked my generator (alternator) and all the wirings, and the voltage of my battery (engine stop or running), all seem to be fine to me - with a decent charging amp and a slightly low voltage. (12.4 stop, 13.5 idle)
I am just wondering is that a specific voltage for the charging light to be turn on and off (really dim, only can been seen at night)? It doesn't make sense to me that the light is off when idle but dimly on when running.

The weird thing --
Idle, complete stop, with brake on: battery light completely off, radio turns off
Car begins to run-
battery light starts to brighten, radio turns on
car running -
battery light dimly on, radio still on
clutch disengaged, car running, engine idle -
battery light off, radio still on
cluth disengaged, car STOPPED, engine idle -
battery light off, radio still on
if I step on the brake now, the radio will turn off
