Brake activates parking lights
I just bought a 2001 Dakota quad cab and whe I apply the brakes or left turn signal it activates the parking lights. Any ideas?

A bad ground. They all use G113 as a ground, located near the battery.

That didn’t work, the ground is good. Is is possibly in a control module?

Check out the left rear turn signal/brake light bulb. See if a filament is broken.

I found the problem, it was a bad blinker light socket.
