Why would the alternator stop working and the battery indicator turn on in a 2001 Mazda Protege when the brakes are used?

Clean both ends of both battery cables and make SURE there is a good ground cable between the engine and body. If this fails, take it to auto zone and have them check the alternator output.

Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
