the wrong wires are probably touching somewhere... that's going to be a little tricky... Do ALL your running lights turn on? the from blinkers and all?
Had you done any replacements/rework on anything before you noticed this condition? If yes then go back and undo the last rework then retest before restoring because you may find that you made a mistake. If no then remove/replace your tail lamp bulbs (including brake lamps). Inspect, clean and apply dielectric grease in the bulb sockets during replacement.

The ground side of the brake light is back feeding through the tail light bulb, or you have a cross shorted bulb. Inspect the bulbs and check the grounds at each taillamp.
