1999 Renault Scenic electric and starting

Variant: 2.0 auto
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
hi, my renault scenic has had a few problems, when i press the break pedal i lose my stereo for a few seconds until it turns it self back on, this happens when i break, use the wiper blades, electric windows and anything else that is electric. it also doesn't want to start sometimes and can take upto 10 attempts. i have had a diagnostic and nothing was picked up. i have been told it needs an electrician, can anyone help?. someone suggested a new tdc sensor but i had a new one nearly a year ago.
