You need to ask yourself, "can this happen?" The turn signal switch normally should NOT have anything to do with tail lamps, only stop/ turn. Why would it be the brake light switch? You say the lamps are only on when the car is "cranked."
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
"cranked?"
Do you mean when you are cranking the engine on the starter?
Do you mean when the ignition switch is in "run?"
Do you mean only when the engine is running?
Tail Lights are on but on the dim side when the ignition is turned to on/run or when the engine is running. There is draw when the tailight fuse is installed, is not one when removed. Tailights are still on if the brake switch is unpluged. Tailights are still on if the Turn signal switch is unpluged. About 2 years ago I puched the car hard and had white/grey smoke out of hood and cut off. Wires burned off shields under hood. Was replaced and seemed to work when I got it back, I may no have noticed lights. Car was in storage for 2yrs, we had a 3rd kid and he had medical problems and just did not have time for it. Trying to get it back on road now.

I unpluged the turn signal switch and the tail lights were still on. Should that happen? Advance and Autozone do not list this part on website.
Should not happen, you have a hot feed going to those rear lights from a melted wire or fuse holder. (or a bad headlight switch) Start pulling one fuse out of the fuse block at a time and see if the rear lights go out. If they do then you have isolated the circuit that is feeding the rear lights when it is not supposed to.
