My van dies when I touch the brakes...
I have a 1992 Chevy Lumina van. It runs fine untill I touch the brake or try to use blinkers. The headlihgts also come on when I touch the brakes. If anyone knows what it could be please help.

Re: My van dies when I touch the brakes...
you must have some major short-outs... or if its anything like my dads old car, the brake light are connected to the radio, the speakers were running off the tail lights, and it was rigged with a toggle switch to run the starter...but, have you owned the car for a long time? if so....have you had any problems before?

I have owned it about 3 years. The problem just started happening. Come to think of it I just took out the radio just befor this started and just taped off each wire.

Sounds like you must've made a mistake while taking out your radio. Also, maybe you should post this in a Pontiac Trans Sport forum in addition to this one.
