Check out the brake pedal switch, push the plunger in and out, check the side to side play, (shouldn't be any), if faulty, replace.
This is what it will look like if you don't have cruise control.
Will look like this if you do have cruise control.
Note: These switches are for a 95 XJ.

dude.. when i read your post i laughed out loud... i know its not funny.. but i can just imagine the first time you pressed your brakes and the dash lights came on... you were like... WTF???
but seriouslly.. this really sounds like some wires crossing paths.. it has to be... If everything was working normally and then all of the sudden when you press your brake pedal and that happens.. somewhere a wire got crossed.. or something melted...
let me ask the question that should have been asked first... did you do ANYTHING prior to this happening?? or was it out of the blue

Since no one updates these threads I figured I would share what I found to fix my problem. It was the trailer harness behind the driver light. Rather than fix it I just removed it since she will never be towing anyway
