You should pull off your tail lights and check out the condition of the bulbs and sockets. Sounds like you are getting voltage leaking between the turn signal and brake light circuits. I'm betting you'll find some corrosion in the sockets out back.

Buy new bulbs, and some dielectric grease first. Once you get them out, clean up the sockets, put in some dielectric grease and the new bulbs.

Bet that fixes your problem.
