Possible dead short in the brake pedal switch. Check for a damaged wiring harness down there.

Have you checked your wiring for the trailer hitch?

Pull some brake light/flasher relays and the trailer connector relays. If the problem doesn't clear, at least you've eliminated everything past the relays.
