I've got some strange electrical things going on.

Symptoms:

Brake warning light always on.
When brakes are applied, light goes out momentarily then comes back on.
When turn signals are activated, turn indicator flashes (left or right) correctly, but brake warning light flashes along with turn indicator.
Flasher relay makes a very slight buzzing noise, can only be heard when the car is not running, but I'm sure it's always there. New relay does the same thing.
Instrument lights are always on.
Rear license plate lights always on.
If the car is running and the light switch is in either parking or headlight position, and the ignition is switched off, the car continues to run as if the ignition were still on. If lights are then turned off, the motor is switched off.

All lights operate normally otherwise. Car is a '73.

This has really got me stumped. I'm wondering if a bad headlight switch may be responsible? This just started out of the blue one day, hadn't done rewiring or anything to cause it. Anyone have any ideas?
