Related to what Rick said in Post 3; at the alternator is a large connector post. In this ring terminal connector is the large wire from the battery positive to the alternator. In addition with the ring terminal, there is a feed wire that goes to the under hood fuse panel and to the inside fuse panel. Since the brake circuit is now involved it would seem that the connection at the alternator has gotten hot or corroded and now these fuse panel feed wires are not getting full or any power. Disconnect the battery positive first before working on the terminal since it will be "hot".
