This sounds like a circuit board issue. See this answer from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_would_the_dashboard_lights_work_ONLY_when_the_brakes_are_applied Have you replaced any tail light or turn signal bulbs lately? It is a common mistake to replace a combinaton turn signal/tail light bulb with the wrong one. I ran into this problem on an older Buick. I replaced a bad turn/tail bulb with the wrong bulb. The new bulb fit but when I stepped on the brakes the dash lights would come on. What I did wrong was I put an 1156 (single contactor bulb) in the turn tail socket which was supose to take an 1157 ( double contactor bulb). Check your turn tail bulbs and make sure they are correct.
