Well I've been having this electrical problem with my car its a 1988 Camry DLX, Its weird each time I press on the brake pedal and my car wants to shut down. When driving at night I noticed that each time I press the brake pedal my headlights will dime as well as everything inside, I went to a Auto Shop to check on the Battery & Alternator and both came out 100% What could it be?

Try taking the brake pedal switch out, to see if the problem is electrical or vacuum related. Remember that you won't have brake lights while this is removed.

I have't had a gen2 cam for years, so I have no clue what colour it is. The sw/ is at the top of the brake pedal.
