When I hit the brake pedal my headlights come on how can I fix this?

When I push the brake pedal on my 05 ford transit the headlights come on and also light up the dashboard lights. Does any one know how to fix this? Also the radio comes on by itself and then the battery is flat, any ideas? Thank you

have you recently changed a brake light bulb? if so you have put a single contact bulb in a double contact socket and when you brake it is shorting across double pins and feeding back through sidelights .[ i dont think it will be your headlights coming on but it will be side lights.] hope this cures your problem
