Dash lights remain on (Brake and Door)

[oconnellv]

The lights on my dash are staying on and will infrequently go off for a few seconds then go back on. The lights that stay on are the Emergency/Parking Brake light and the Door Ajar light. The headlights will go on but the gauge cluster will not light like they typically would when the headlights are on. When the warning lights are on, the blinkers will not flash on the dash either. They work, just cannot see the indicator arrow on the dash. Everything else seems to work fine.

Anyone ever have this issue or know the cause??

I want to say that it sounds like a ground issue or something shorting to ground, but I don't have a clue as to where to start looking.

I am currently having the same issue with my 07 mountaineer. I have bought all of the wiring manuals I can find. I'm leaning towards smart junction box issue, but no conclusion yet. I to was hoping to find some helpful info
