Check the Brake light switch and the third brake light bulb, I did get these lights when the bulb died.

check the fuses first. i had same problem and changed my brake light switch and still got the dash lights. after that didn't work i THEN decided to check the fuses, and of course it was blown. so i turned a 5 minute fix into a couple hours + shipping time for the part, but hey lesson learned. and now I have a backup brake light switch
