There is a short somewhere, plain and simple. The dash lights and the taillights are on the same series. The actual brake lights are on their own, thats why your brake lights work and you taillights dont. If you are not comfortable with looking for the short yourself a shop will be more than happy to charge you 40-100$ an hour to look for a bad wire.

BTW: I have had this very same problem.

Check the vanity lights on the sunvisors. just unscrew the visors, pull them out, along with the connector. The wire may be touching ground here. ( this is a common problem with this model )

Mine was a pinched wire behind the taillight housing.
