Dashlights going out/e brake? Pls HELP!!

Hey all,

I've been having this problem for a while, but it has progressively gotten worse... my dashlights have been going on and off when I wiggle the e brake. Its usually solved (as in the lights stay on) when I position the e brake juuuust so. Well today, the lights went off and I could not get them to go back on, no matter how I positioned the e brake. And at the same time, when I turn off the car, the brake lights stay on for a couple minutes. So, I know its something electrical, but I don't know what exactly?? And I've gathered that the malfunctioning dashlights are connected to the malfunctioning break lights/e brake, but how??

Has anyone had this problem?? What was it/what was the solution?? If anyone can shed some light, I'd reallllly appreciate it!

Btw, I have a 2004 r50.

Thanks for reading!
