Ok, I know you guys are probably getting tired of me aking dumb questions, but I've got a real stumper here. When I hit my brakes, the dash lights, parking lights, and side marker lights come on. Is it supposed to do that or should I have it looked at by someone? I haven't been able to figure this one out on my own.

no it is not supposed to do that. sounds like you have a short somewhere. look under where the pedal is actually at. you have to get in an awkward position, but best way is to put your seat all the way back, lay it down, and lay head under dash. and check to see if there are any wires in the way of the pedal.

I wholeheartedly agree. It sounds like some wires care crossing. (And that position is awkward and involves alot of back strain...a real PITA)

Ok, I like the whole gremlins idea (lol). I haven't changed any fuses or bulbs yet. I will however check all of my fuses to make sure they're all working correctly. Again, thanks for all the help.

Ok, I haven't checked the fuses yet, but I'm almost sure there havn't been any bulbs changed in a while due to the fact that half of them are missing or burned out. I still plan on checking the fuses sometime very soon. If I find anything else wrong, I'll let you guys know. Thanks.
