cuttin' out dash lights

So my wife informed me lastnight that with her headlights off, and she hits the brake- the digital dash cuts out, but doesn't do it with the headlights on...

Is this a ground issue?

Thanks

It could be a short in the tail lights. My dash used to go out if I had the left turn signal on and hit the horn.

How in the world did you manage to track that down from those symptoms? :-k
