Brake Light Switch possible culprit

Do your brake lights on your truck stop working then also? If so then I would say that the switch may be grounding itself out some how or you have a short in the wiring somewhere.
 
Very possible. Try and unplug it from the harness in the back at the frame rail and try again. If that is it the you only have to replace the 7 pin plug assembly.
 
Window&door has a good idea there with a possible bad brake controller. I would also climb under the dash and see if you have chaffed wires that could be shorting out the brake circuit.
