95 Sebring Electrical Issues

After my Sebring died and wouldn't restart after months of symptomatic electrical problems (radio cutting out, lights flickering when using brakes, and once in a while....entire engine shuts off and comes back on while driving), I had the ignition switch replaced and everything else checked out. Seemed to do the trick.
Less than a week later I think I am headed back down the same path. The symptom most annoying is when I depress the brake pedal, the stereo cuts off for a couple seconds and comes back on.
The interior lights are flickering a little, and tonight when I got home I turned it off. When I immediately went to test it, it wouldn't start. I clicked on the dome light switch (an old trick) and that light was very dim for a second.....then miraculously everything came back on to full power.
My car is haunted? yes, but I don't want a car payment, so I don't want to dump it.
I'd appreciate any advice. The mechanics I've worked with don't have any ideas.
