Short Circuit

So I've got a little problem with my 95 Corolla....If I press the brakes, the parking lights w/ dashlights turn on...Even if the light switch is off, the cars not running or even has keys in the ignition. Also, when I do turn my lights on, the brake lights are always on (although they do tend to get a bit brighter when I press the brake).

I haven't really had a chance to look at it yet, I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.

Thanks Callum

The bulbs in your brake lights/parking lights have fused the contact points together... replace all 4 bulbs, clean corrosion, good as new.

Forgot to answer this post back in June, but seems that other people are having this problem so I figured i'd complete the thread because i replace the bulbs and clean the corrosion just like Rip The E Brake said and they worked great.
