Stepping on brake pedal causes idle speed drop

I'm chasing an electrical gremlin. I keep thinking I have solved the problem for a few days, but then it comes back.
While driving, I get blips in my electrical power. The car keeps going, but I can tell it's electrical, cause the radio code sometimes has to be reset. Occassionally, while stopped at an intersection, the car will just turn off. It starts right back up, fortunately.
Today, while trying to find what I assume is some kind of ground problem, I noticed that if I step on the brake pedal while the car is idling, the idle speed drops from 1000 to 750 and the lights dim. It seems this may be part of the problem.
Any ideas as to where I should look for the problem spot?
