What to do when your brake lights come on?
All good comments but I had this problem before and oddly enough it was a ’94 Nissan Sentra GXE. It turned out to be a bad brake light switch. The next time the lights come on just unplug the brake light switch. If the lights go out…install a new brake light switch and make sure it’s adjusted properly.
Why do the lights come on when the car is parked?
If the running lights circuit was being effected then the front lights and dash lights should also be turning on as they are all normally connected together. It may also be that the brake switch just needs to be adjusted in order to stop this trouble. The brake pedal might be moving slightly downward over time just enough to turn on the switch.

The brake lights were staying on… simple fix, there is a rubber grommet on the brake pedal where it contacts the brake light switch. The grommet has worn, indented, and doesn’t depress the switch in far enough to turn the lights off… new rubber grommet solves the problem…

What happens when the dashboard battery light comes on?
If the car’s dashboard battery light comes on, you might be able to make it home or to a service facility for a repair.
