Electrical help please

I have an 03 Heritage and while I was riding my speedo, turn signals and brake lights stopped working. I looked at connections on my battery and everything is good. Tonight I went to further investigate and when I turned ignition on everything worked until I squeezed my front breaks. It went out then came back on. Tried it a few more times and the same thing until it stopped coming on. Could this be the VSS or something else. Thank you in advance for any help.

<p>Sounds like the front brake switch may be causing a short. The little button switch that is just inside the switch housing.</p>

ok, this morning I did a little more trouble shooting kinda... I turned on the ignition and everything was normal so I tried the foot brake and the same thing happened, I lost the backlight on speedometer and odometer went out and turn signals wouldn't work. turned if off and back on and everything was normal. I turned on turn signal and hit foot brake and everything went out and I couldn't turn off my turn signal.. Is this a relay of some sort causing my headache??
