The more you write about it the more I think your rear fog is on. You need to post a picture.

The brake lights are indipendant of the car running. You can get in a car, press the brake pedal, and the brake lights will come on. Has nothing to do with the car running. If you have a brake/cruise cut off switch malfunctioning, maybe they can come on when the car is running but I doubt that.
