Blinkah indicator comes on with brake lights

[15Michaeljoseph]

Tried getting help on the Facebook page... Figured you guys might have more info. So I noticed this another night and it seemed to have gone away, but it happened again tonight so I need help. When I have my lights on at night, when I press the brake pedal, my right turn signal indicator on the cluster will illuminate very faintly, as if it were connected to the brake light circuit. Now I'm not sure if it happens during the day without the lights on since its very faint and I might not notice it in the daylight. So is there anywhere where a bad ground or something could cause this issue? I'm going to try replacing both brake light bulbs tomorrow... But that probably won't do anything anyway. Maybe it's my brake light switch?

I haven't looked at the wedophone edms yet since I'm at work, but I was hoping someone could offer something.
Help!

Okay, pulled all the bulbs and cleaned them with contact cleaner. I didn't have correct replacements so I'm going to buy some. I did notice, however that one of my brake light bulbs is not a 'european' nickle based bulb. Hm.

Exactly the same thing happened to me few weeks ago, but it was the left turn signal indicator in the cluster illuminating.
All I did was change the LEFT brake light bulb, even though the brake light would work correctly. Looking closely at the glass part of the bulb, it had a slight darkened/burned colour to it.

Hope this helps.

Changed the bulbs... Seemed to fix the issue but....Now when I turn on my right turn signal, the brake light fail comes on in the check panel. Feck.
