Press the brake...got my parking lights on ..magic?

Hello there...I have 67 dodge dart..whenever I press the brake and the parking lights goes on...and also my brake pedal won't go back up..I have to manually use my foot to lift up..does anyone know why? Thanks.

Concord,ca? Not far if so.

I had reversed the brake light pigtail in my 68 and it caused the parking light circuit to light up also. I switched it back and all was well. That may or may not be what happened to you. I had the brake issue as well. Are the brakes working very well? You may be losing fluid through a leaky cylinder.
