Default brake light problem

for some reason.. everytime i step on my brakes my parking lights turn on including the dash and shifter lights. Also, my third brake light stays on when the headlights are on. It looks like im braking the whole time while driving at night. Has anybody had this problem? What would be the problem and what should i check for? thanks

Wow, if these SC's had body control modules (BCM's) like nissans, it would def. be the culprit....being that they dont, it sounds like you have some chopped up wires somewhere.
