3rd Brake light problem

I have developed a problem with my brake lights on a 98 explorer xlt.

My 3rd brake light is flashing and faint when the car is off. With the car on the same problem exists. when you open a door (or turn a light on in the car) the flashing stops but the light is still faint.

When you depress the brake pedal no main brake lights but you do get a full intensity 3rd brake light.

This has me stumped! Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dennis

What did you find on this problem? I'm thinking a loose ground someplace.
