1985 Buick Skylark 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

hi I have a 85 buick skylark the tail lights and dash lights come on when you push the brake. The radio light goes off to. The speakers on the driver side comes and goes. Could the radio wires be shorting out my lights?

Welcome, my wiring info on your model year is limited. Is that an aftermarket radio, any rewiring been done?

Your tail lamps at the rear, that is a dual filament bulb. One filament is for tail lamps-- brown wire. Black wire is ground, the other color wire is stop and turn. Stop and turn at the rear, use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. I'd have to check bulbs-- bulb socket and wiring circuits.
