Everytime I have my truck off my passenger side brake light stays on and when I hit the brakes it disappears n only the driver side works properly. When i try to put on the blinker it goes crazy n blinks like if its having a seizure, but I already replaced the light bulb n the back and the brakelight switch. Would u think there's a possible short somewhere or something worse?

It sounds like either there is a bad bulb, bad connection, or a bad ground. Do both brake lights come on when you push the brake pedal? Have you checked all lights both in the rear and the front?
