Default Someone please help, NO RUNNING LIGHTS, Only headlights turn on!

Ok, so i've had a really REALLY bad week.

Denied again for unemployment after losing my job awhile back, being sued for a credit card I thought I paid off, but instead, was scammed and lost my money, Parents are losing their house, step mother has breast cancer, girlfriends uncle has inoperable cancer, and now this issue with my car...
Whew...now that we've skipped all that **** that happened in the past 3 days, I have no tail lights, no interior lights and no parking lights. headlights work fine.

HERE IS THE CATCH!!! When i use my auto start (code alarm auto start & secuirty system with door unlocks) the tail lights, parking lights, speedometer backlighting, and dashboard lights all work properly and fine.

However, when i engage my break and insert my key (basically, to shift, drive, etc.) they all cut off. The car stays running, headlights work fine, and my brake lights work fine, But When i turn on my headlights or parking lights, NOTHING but the headlights turn on. They worked before. Now they do not.
So to break this down, I have headlights, but no taillights, parking lights or interior lights...Makes it very hard to see how fast youre going at night and drive safely in a city that has alot of _______ cops for 1mph over the limit and a REALLY large amount of stupid stupid drivers...mainly college kids who have mommy and daddy's money for their new leased vehicles.

On a possibly related note, there are 2 wires hanging from the back end of my car, but with my parking lot flooded i cannot see where the wires go to. I took it to the dealer, and they said the lights ran to my side markers and NOT my tail lights.

Does anyone, PLEASE PLEASE know what is going on with this...

Even if it worked before WITH the auto start on? I just noticed it.

My battery did die a day or two ago, while i was in the store, i left my lights on accidently during the day (it was raining bad) and after trying to start it, the power inside kept flashing on and off FOR A LONG WHILE then went dead.

Im hoping i missed a fuse maybe...
