wiring issue

ok so i have a lighting problem, think when you get into your FC and put your foot on the brake, all the dash lights come on. then when you turn on your lights then they just stay on. mine stay as if i was jst pushing on the brake, they only light up then. any ideas on what could be causing my dash not to light up when i turn the lights on???

please help

thanks

You have the wrong bulb in the brake lights.

You should have a 1157, but you have a 1156 bulb in there.

Not a wiring issue but rather an issue caused by who every changed the brake light bulb
