brake lights only come on when emergency flashers are activated. Changed pedal switch with no luck. Cargo brake light works. All relays working and intact. I've done everything I know of

Your brake lights are wired through the turn / hazzard signal switch. This is a common issue - and it indicates that your switch is failing. Replace the entire switch unit. Be sure to dissable the airbag - if equiped - by removing the airbag fuse when working on this switch.
