Tsx electrical/starting problem

HI i have an 04 TSX and my problem is this, the other day i was driving in the rain and then my lights started to flicker, the radio and gps kept restarting and this happened more with my foot on the brake. once i turned the car off and tried to restart it died and needed to be jump started. Has this happened to anyone before?

Weak battery or alternator. Have you had these tested?

Could also be that too.

Did you get your test done?

i've seen this before if the battery clamps on the battery are loose or corroded. make sure those are clean and tight. make sure your battery is fully charged too.

Just had the same kind of problem. I had my alternator tested. I end up changing the battery and everything is back to normal.
