Why do the lights on a 1997 Ford Taurus dim when braking?
When I apply the brakes in my 1997 Ford Taurus, the headlights and interior (console lights included) dim.
alt and battery are good

Sounds like an auto electrical problem.
It sounds like either a short somewhere, or a weak alternator. You can get your alternator tested for free at your local Autozone or Advance Auto Parts.
Your brake light switch may be faulty and drawing amps from all lights or preventing the amps from the other lights..either way your problem lies there.
