    Weird electrical fault :(

    Hi guys i was wondering if anyone is a car electrics guru.

    My Willy had developed an interesting electrical fault. Just for the record I have not touched or tampered with anything to do with the electrics.

    With the key turned to ignition. Happens when the engine is off and also when the engine running.

    If you press the brake pedal the instrument panel lights up (As if you have your lights on) the front lights come on and the relays in the interior fuse box clicks, but if you release the brake pedal it returns back to normal.

    Now the funny thing is if you have your dipped lights on it doesn't happen and everything is fine.

    Is this possibly a poor earth point???

    How should I start to investigate the problem before resulting to an electrics specialist
