Default instrument gauges light up when i apply brakes?

Happy easter everyone! i got a quick question, anyone have a situation where the instrument cluster and a/c controls backlight comes on when you push the brake pedal? im positive i gotta find a wiring diagram and trace the circuit and what not, but im not sure if maybe someone had this problem before. thanks in advanced

make sure you have the right bulbs in the tail lights... if there is a single filament bulb put in and you apply the brakes, it will backfeed through the tail light circuit and power up your dash lights and such
