My dashboard lights have started coming on everytime I hit the brake pedal (brake lights come on = dashboard lights come on). When I release the pedal the lights go back off. The headlights and tail-lights stay off... only the dashboard lights, radio, etc.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas where I should start looking for the short between the 2 circuits? Thxs.

While it could be short between circuits it's been my experience that it's a bad or shorted ground connection somewhere in the lighting circuits. Worse part is it can be anywhere in the lighting circuits and not directly related to either the brake light or dash lighting circuits. If you have a trailer lighting plug that'd be the first place I'd go to check connections then the taillight housings for bulb and wiring connections hot wires and especially ground connections. Good Luck.

Did you ever get this resolved? My T100 is doing the exact same thing.

It is probably the trailer wire converter, they are known for this problem.

Stepping on the brake usually causes the turn signal (either side) to indicate, and/or the dash lights to illuminate.

It also could be a shorted brake bulb.

I concur. Mine is located behind the Rt Tailight assy (Light assy comes out easy enough). Try disconnecting the plugs and re-try it.
