Brake lights

When I push the brake pedal the tail light start flashing like you got the flashers on I have replaced the turn signal switch when you turn on flashers they stay on solid when you use the turn signal lever they work what could be causing this

Sounds like wires are not connected properly. Its tough to say, ive read of different manufacturers turn signal switches having different colour coding. I installed mine about a month back and ended up using crimp on connectors so that I can rearrange them. Had a similar issue, where the left turn signal triggered the right rear light, was just a matter of chasing wires and finding the right match. I found the wiring diagram on the fordification website very helpful, can find out which colour is for your turn signal and which one is for your brake light and swap them. I plan on soldering them before I get it on the road, but those crimp connectors are cheap and worked well to test.
Best of luck
