I just finished putting my car together after doing a wire tuck and i found that when i press my brakes my dash lights, and all my center console lights come on.

does anyone know where/how the brake light circuit would come in contact with the dash light circuit?

thanks.

edit: it's a 94 LS

mine was also doing this when i bought it. its wiring was all shady with the alarm fogs and sidemarkers. i striped everything and redid all of it. that didnt fix it, it turned out when i changed the tails from tinted black stock ones to 96' spec jdm tails it magically fixed it.. im not sure how but i can just say follow the break sensor wire and the headlight wire with a voltometer..?

 

I followed both lines and they dont look damaged anywhere, im not sure what to do. Im wondering if a should cut the lines at the break sensor and run a new one to the back, but I much rather figure out what is going on with it.

 

Hmm, i know the brakelights are wired in with all these lights somehow b/c they are powered by the same fuse.

Maybe that can help you get a start to figuring it out.
goodluck

 

I dont think it has anything to do with the fuses

 

brake light switch could of went bad ive seen this happen be4

 

but why would that light up the dash?

 

anybody else, I ran a new line to the break lights and it still does it, I dont understand how that can be..

 

nevermind people I found the problem, I was the light bulb.
