Brake lights won't turn off
anything else I can check besides the brake switch? I checked that, I even pulled the stop lamp fuse from the dash, and the big 50 amp headlight/brakelight fuse under the hood, still won't turn off

if you unplug the stoplight switch it's still on?

sounds like a hot wire is chaffed through into your brake light wires?

Thinking that it could possibly be a bad trailer brake controller. I have had one stick slightly engaged before.
