hey everyone,
new problem arose tonite coming home from shopping with the family. When I put my foot on the brake pedal, my brake lights work per normal, but also my parkers come on, and my lhs indicator comes on (front, back, and guard). When it does this, the indicator does not flash, but stays on permantly, till the foot is removed from the brakes. Anyone have any ideas????
TIA
Michael

wrong globe maybe? weird things like that happen when people put single filament bulbs in a dual filament socket

Sounds very much like a bad earth on that side of the car usually at the tail lamp cluster. Have also seen a stop tail globe blow and fuse itself internally. Check the earth on that side also all the globes especially the stop/tail one

Does the car have a tow bar - hopefully it does - look at the tow bar wiring first.

+1, I have had similar issues before caused by the trailer plug shorting out.
