Hey so i have a problem. Everytime i push my brake pedal down my brake lights come on (obviously) but so do my gauge lights and the lights behind my ac/heat control. Any ideas what this could be? Any help is much appriciated.

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Re: Pushing brakes turns on gauge lights?
Have you replaced a taillight bulb lately? make sure you have dual filiment bulbs where they are supposed to go(stop/tail/turn signal), and single filiment where theyre supposed to be (reverse lights).
Having a single contact bulb were a double goes, will cause this. ask me how I know.

Re: Pushing brakes turns on gauge lights?
Hey redroc. One other thing I would check is that there are no bare wires under the dash by the brake pedal. The pedal itself could be contacting a wire and completing a circuit.
