Ok so I was working on my car trying to figure out why my car is doing this. When I brake my driving and brake lights for the rear go on, and so does my corner lights and the dashlight. Does anyone know why it would do that??? Has anyone ran into a problem like this??? Another issue is when I put my turn signals on, they go too fast, as if my bulb is blown or something, and its not. I turn my headlights on, my brake lights go on. Need help, or at least a wiring diagram. I'm starting to think my brake switch is f**ked up, maybe I should test it. Thanks in advance everyone, hope this headache will be over soon

Have you changed anything to do with the electronics in your car?

ie: LED corner bulbs, brake lights, hazard switch...etc.

I swapped my hazard switch when I changed my interior pieces, and for what ever reason, my turn signals wouldn't work.

lol, you put the wrong bulb in the brake light. You need a 1157, not a 1156.

Your brakes are feeding through the wrong way and powering your dashboard and running lights.

Are you running LEDs in your blinkers?

lmao!!!! get the f*** out of here. Well I think I messed somethin up. I was goin to put this wire to the connector, took it out to see if I can trace it, well when I was puttin it back on, got disturbed and touched a piece of metal, and well, a nice spark, but no smell of somethin burnin. Now I go to press the brake and now the brake lights dont go on when I press em, while i have the light switch on the off position. No led's or nothin, completely stock, just picked it up this weekend, my aunt gave it to me for free, and it has some damage in the front, but nothin major, looks like she ran into a tow hook. She thought the tranny went, but its just the cv joint. Its an auto, but went to the junk yard and found a 5 speed tiburon, 2000, and for the whole 5 speed shit, 150bucks. So might be doin a conversion as well, im not legally allowed to drive, so its just gonna be a little somethin to get me out of trouble, but imma check the bulbs, buy some new ones, hope everything goes well. Thanks everyone
