Only when i have my tailights and or headlights switch turned on, the brake lights will stay on. When i hit the brakes, the lights get slightly brighter.

When my tailights and headlights switch is off and i hit the brakes, my instrument cluster and front ambers turn on, as if i was turning the tailights on.

Also, when i turn the car off and remove the key, then put the key back in and turn the key on, my clock resets to 1:00.

Not sure what exactly to look for other than a loose connection or bad ground. Anywhere to look specifically?

Just replaced the brake light switch yesterday so that is not the issue.

youre going to have a short somewhere in your wiring, get yourself a manual and a couple beers and start tracking wires... as for your clock resetting, your back-up fuse in the underhood fusebox is probably blown, its a 7.5amp

Check whether the ground wire G553 is loose, corroded or disconnected.

7.5 fuse was blown, fixed the clock.

The brake lights was acutally caused by the use of an incorrect bulb.

Recently had a tailight out, so i replaced it with a buld identical with the one i pulled out. Didnt notice it was a single filament bulb, when its meant to be a dual. I replaced it with the correct bulb and the problem is gone.

Thanks for the help.
