Hi,
My guess would be a bad ground/earth on one of the sets of lights involved, most probably the brakes.
Check the cables for their grounding points, making sure there are no broken wires & loose or broken connectors.
Best of luck.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 GMC sierra 1500. Instrument Lights Not Working

When dash lights don't work odds are the tail lights don't work either.Sounds like Dimmer switch may be a problem.

SOURCE: 03 Ram 1500 E-Brake light flashing

its possible the switch on the e/brake unit broke, take a flashlight and locate a single/double wire that goes to the e/brake assembly (this is the piece you depress with your left foot) and look to see if the wire is broken or the switch the wire goes to is broken.

The pedal for the brakes has a switch above it on the connecting shaft. Look to see if it is loose, boken or disconnected. There may be more than one switch also.

Brake lights won't come on after changing brake booster on 97 gmc 1500. Also won't shift into gear.

check for a bad brake light fuse! if not the fuse, the brake light switch operates brake lights and if bad you will not be able to shift it out of park, as well as the brake lights not coming on.! because you have to put foot on brake to do so. if bad switch, it wont let it out of park. it could be just out of adjustment also!! good-day !

This morning tried to start my 03 sierra 1500, i opened the driver door cab lights came on, put key into the ignition turned the key and the lights went out and the truck would not even crank nothing....

Try jump starting it. I suspect your battery is dead. After time they don't hold a charge as deep as they once did. Have it load tested to verify. Your lights and other options don't draw nearly what your starter needs.

Brake lights are staying on all the time even when i pull the fuse 2004 gmc seara

Check your brake light switch. It is located on the very top of the brake pedal, up under the dash. They are kind of hard to get to. But the brake light switch is the problem.

Rear parking lights dont work 2001 GMC sierra

It would then be a bad ground. Start at the bulb fixtures cleaning and refastening; look for cracked broken wires as you go. A little multimeter will help.
