have you replaced a brake light bulb? if you have a combined sidelight and brakelight you need a double contact bulb. if someone has fitted a single contact bulb, eg an indicator bulb, the terminal touches both the brake and sidelight terminals crossing them out, bringing sidelights on when brake and brakelights when s/lights switched on. hope this helps

also check that a filment inside the blub hasn't broken off and touching the other filment causing a feed back through system.
Check the Power Control box under the hood. It is vulnerable to corrosion from water entering the engine compartment and corroding the connections. Look for green corrosion. If it is there you will need to replace it.
Then check the trailer light socket for corrosion also. It can cause feedback to the front control module.
I had a similar problem with my 2005 Dodge Ram. The front parking lights would come on when it hit the brake. And, my right turn signals came on with the left. My problem was the trailer light plug that hung underneath the rear bumper. The socket in the bumper was fine. But, there was another ancillary socket that was corroded. I cleaned it up and all is well. Thanks for your information.

Why arnt my Running lights not working?
Dodge Rams are not equipped with Daytime running lights.. Although what you can do is turn on the parking lights and select just your fog lights (if equipped) otherwise to have running lights you will need to turn on your headlights. It's not a huge advantage to have running lights, because when the climates come that you need to turn on the headlights anyways, they aren't necessary.

How do you work the headlights on the 1999 Lexus rx 300?
Your headlights are operated by twisting the end of your turn signal stalk. One forward rotational click, from the off position, turns your running/parking lights on. The next click turns your running/parking and your head lights on. The third click is "auto". In this positions your lights will turn on and off automatically depending on how much ambient light your vehicle is in while driving. Pushing the turn signal stalk forward turns your high beams on. Pulling it back again turns the high beams off. Your daytime running lights stay on whenever the car is running.
