Default Weird Problem - No break lights.

Ok I'm pretty sure this is a ground issue but I'm not sure where to start.

First my breaks don't work when I depress them. My hazard lights work along with the break light switch is brand new. I haven't checked the fuse yet as I just now found where its located.

But I have this strange interference over my stereo speakers since I replaced my heater core. It required me to removed pretty much the entire dash. I'm wondering if this sounds like a issue anyones ever had? lol

Then my dome light only comes on when the door is opened. When the switch is rotated it does not come on. The fog light indicator light also does not come on but the fog lights come on. The radio just started making this pulsing noise that gets faster when I accelerate. Definitely some kind of interference wiring issue I'm not sure.This sounds like a ground issue possibly but I have no idea where to start.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

sounds like a ground to me i would start taking the dash apart and check for a loose or broken ground since that was the last place you worked on the D and now your having problems

couldnt tell you where the ground is, but my money is on a bad or missing ground being the case of your problems. at this point w/o taking the dash apart and looking for loose connections we cant point you at anything specific, but if it were me i would start by looking at the wires behind the dash for the radio

Awesome I'm actually about to get to work. I'll post back if I figure it out because these problems are really strange ( and I can't be confident enough driving without breaklights...lol)
