interior brake light! hmmm?

97 F-150, when I apply the brakes the interior entrance light comes on. the cargo lights are dim, the brake light on the top of rear window is very dim. all bulbs working. where would one start to look for the short that is creating the problem. i have a feeling i am going to have to pull the head liner is there a way to test to see which wire it could be.

If this problem occurs after rain I would look toward water leaking into the interior fuse box. Many electrical concerns have been caused by this common problem.
