A serous wiring problem you need to grab a shematic of the system and see where the 2 over lap and start from there. Break down both circuits to figure it out.

Just a dumb guess, but check your brake-light bulbs. That's where those 2 circuits come together.

Do you have single-filament bulbs in back for your brake lights where there should be 2-filament bulbs?

If they're backwards or crooked in the socket, or if the little bumps on the base of the bulb are mashed together, it'll do the same thing.

Or maybe even the wires shorted together near the socket...

Wrong bulbs in your brake lamps. They're supposed to be 2-filament bulbs. If you put 1-filament bulbs in there, or if you force them in their sockets backwards, it'll do that.
