Why did you take dash out? What else did you do to car? Did it have this problem before? A bad brake light bulb can do this. The element inside the bulb breaks and lands on the other element so when you energize brake circuit OR park light circuit the other also gets power. Happens alot on 1157 bulbs

its supposed to do that. it alerts you that the lights are on and draining the battery. check around where you had it off an look for chewed wires
