most likely you have a wire grounding out somewhere. Did you mess with the trunk or under the dash? Could be something to do with the combination switch, but I can't make out why your interior light would come on unless you have a faulty door switch thingmabob. Check the your tail lights and see if you have any loose or exposed wires touching each other or metal.

I'm almost 100% sure it's one of your brake bulbs if you haven't messed with any wires lately. Check all the brake bulbs. Since they are dual filament, it's possible that the connectors melted and are "soldered" together
