Sounds like ur batteries about to go, or terminals are not connected securely, umm do u have abs? when my abs makes a buzzing sound, the light kinda dims a little, so maybe thats it?

yea i checked the battery its secure and i dont have ABS ......my brake light in the rear window stays on a low shine but when i hit the brakes it makes a high shine and then when i let the brakes go it goes bakc to low ......the brake light shouldnt be on untill i hit the brake............then the cluster lights up when i hit the brakes with the lights off and car off ......i think it may be a wiring problem.......any1 knw where i can get a wiring diagram
