lights issue

Here is my issue on my 95 Cherokee Sport:

I turn on my head lights, my brake lights and 3rd brake light come on. If my lights are off and I apply the brakes, all my dash lights and parking lights come on.

Dirty light sockets? Trailer plug dirty? please help!

Likely a bad ground connection causing power to backfeed the bulbs instead of returning directly to ground. Check the battery to frame ground first.

All of the above could be it.

I'd go to the trailer connector right off the bat, especially if it's not factory.
