Check ground on the brake lights. Pull light assembly and clean up all the connections.

Is the pedal pushing the switch in far enough?
Could also be a defective switch. Maybe try unplugging the switch and checking it with an ohmmeter while pushing the switch manually. :)

It could be the turn signal switch. On these trucks, the turn signals are actually your brake lights flashing on and off.
