1gen stop lamp when brake press

This just started last week, when I press the brake now my stop lamp dash light comes on, goes off when i release. Tried wiggling all bulbs to no luck, any ideas? Thanks.

the bulbs on the ends have two filaments, one for running and another for brakes, or turn signals youll have to check them all. maybe one filament is out and youll have to replace the bulb. there so cheap.

had mine do that to me before. got some water in there and lost a bulb its takes like 5 minutes of pressing the brake with a friend checking them all.

now if the light stays on all the time you may need brake fluid. there finicky little cars lol

Thanks, a few days before this happened I replaced the lens on the right taillight, maybe I knocked something loose during the process or let some water get in there. Will try and report what happens
