Why do ALL my parking lights come on when I hit my brakes?

When I hit them all mylights will come on, my parking lights, interior and dash lights-but not the rear turn signals. When my lights are on the just kinda get a little brighter for a second. What the hell is up with this.

not really helpful

Youre probably right, but I havent been screwing with any electrical crap besides removing fuses I didnt need, so I dont know what could have gone wrong.

Maybe the CPU, the little black box by your left foot.
I had some weird *** electrical probs a while back, buzzers going off randomly, turn signals not working, hazards coming on by themselves, ect. ect. I changed the CPU and viola.

I had the same problem, It stopped when I unpushed the logicon button to vent the air to the back.

Let's see. All the lights are turned off. Now you hit the brakes. And at that time the parking, interior lights etc come on. Got me if you havn't done any wiring lately. By the way, what fuses were the ones that were not needed? Specifically. Do you now or at anytime had any theft protection device?
