if you have a single filament bulb in a double filament socket will do this.also look closely at the contacts on bulbls if they melt together same thing.try removing one brake/tail bulb at a time and recheck if symptoms stop.when it does you found the offending party.also poor groud to rear lamps can cause this.

I have the same issue, thats because on the taillights u have the wrong bulbs, probably on the red ones, these bulbs should be ones with two poles on the botom, just check how is it, and change it, im sure that the problem, i have done that and it works.
