Turn Signal Troubles

I own a 1997 Ford Ranger. My right turn signal has started to freeze when I put on the brakes. The indicator light on the dash stops blinking and dims when I apply the brakes. Also, the indicator light will dimly light up when I apply the brakes, with no turn signal.
Any idea what may be causing this and whether it is something I can fix myself. I've given enough money to the local dealership in the last few months. Any help well be greatly appreciated.

Do you have or have you added a trailer light connection to the truck?

Yes, there is a trailer light connection. It has been on there since the truck was new
