Here is the problem! When I step on the brakes the tail lights come on and when you turn the head lights on the brakes lights go on. Plus my turn signals won't work. The buzzer for the headlights stays on all the time even when they are off. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

you may have a problem with the lighting circuits. check the ground wires attached to the car frame and see if they have corroded. clean them just the same to make sure. (you can use sandpaper for this) screw everything back tight. hope this will work for you.

check out the other topics on this. there are some recalled parts for the lights on certain models.

Sounds like your combo switch for your turn singal is bad I would replace that I've seen those make a buzzin noise and cause the turn singals not to work...
