Good Morning Carolyn !
The problem with you panel lights is usually connections or contact
problems. Cleaning and reconnecting works wonders. Problem is, which
connector and where?
As for the brake light indicator. If your car has the system that tells you
about lights that are not working, then what you indicate is correct. When
you start the car without your foot on the brake, this system does a check
and finds that there is an open at the brake lights. You see, these lights
are not intended to be on (closed circuit) unless you step on the brake.
When you step on the brake, you close the circuit, the lights come on and
your computer now knows that they are working and shuts off your panel
light.
Good luck with the panel lights. A simple fix I would think once you find
the poor connection. Tap the dash when the lights go out and see if you can
get them back on. An overheating relay would be another idea, but not
likely.
Dave
