Have you upgraded any lights to LEDs? This answer can apply to any car with this problem but only if LED lights are used.
This can be caused by LED 1157 tail/brake combo lights. The problem is that the tail and brake lights are not always as isolated as they should be.
When the brake lights are powered on the tail light terminal becomes live. This voltage will power up the park light circuit ie. tail lights, front park lights and instrument panel.
The "short" comes after the LED resistors in the 1157 therefore the leaked current is low and will not usually cause any problems unless you have LED's throughout the park light circuit, there is insufficient current to turn on standard light bulbs.
Solution is a diode fitted in line on the tail light wires to the 1157s allowing current into the 1157 but not out.

Brake lights do not work on 2005 Nissan sentra?
Check the brake switch under your pedal (which needs to be pushed when the brake pedal is depressed). This is what the problem was on my friends Sentra. As long as you have checked the lights and fuses, this should do it.

Check rear bulbs, rear brake bulb fuse, and check the swith on the brake pedal.
Why does the brake lights constantly stay on for a Nissan Pulsar lx?
It is because the brake light switch under the brake pedal is faulty. usually replacing this will solve the problem. it is designed in such a way that when the brake pedal is depressed the switch completes a circuit and the lights come on. the fault occurs when the switch closes the circuit even though the pedal is not depressed. hope this helps.

Check for a bad ground circuit at the rear tial lights.
Why does the car's electrical turn on when the brake pedal is depressed and the car is not running?
It turns the rear brake lights on as a safety feature. The brake pedal is pushed in, causing the fluid to move forward in the brake cylinder,activating a brake light switch. Even if the vehicle is off, the lights will still come on.
What does it mean when the brake lights work on a 2006 Escalade but the tail lights do not work?
The tail lights and the stop lights work off of different circuits. The stop lights work when the brake pedal is depressed while the tail lights work when the light switch is turned on. Look for a burnt fuse or a bad connection.
