Either your foot was brushing against the brake pedal, or your brake switch is adjusted right on the edge of activation. When you push the clutch pedal down, the bracket that holds both the brake and clutch pedals flexes a little, which can cause the brake switch to move away from the pedal arm a tiny bit -- and light the lamps. Its easy to adjust, just pull down the plastic panel in the foot well, and look up... You'll see it.

You have a MAJOR problem, your muffler bearings MUST be contaminated with blinker fluid, causing a short circuit in the flux capacitor...















Just messing, sounds like Brains hit the nail on the proverbial head!

Best of luck!

after i pulled my master cylinder for my clutch pedal, the cruise controll stopped working. i had to adjust the switch under the kick panel that was depressed when the clutch pedal wasnt pressed. i almost took a trip to houston without it
