Thanks guys.

My friend had an Integra that had the dash lights turn on every time he pressed the brakes, it had been doing it since he bought it, I checked everything out for linke an hour and it turned out that some asshat shoved a wrong bulb (dual filament where it should have been single filament) into one of the tail light sockets. So I would check the car out for something simple as a fuse or the light bulbs first.
