lighting problems with 95 ranger

I have a 95 Ranger. I have owned this beast for 8 years. So far it has been a VERY reliable truck, and I have been able to figure out any thing it has thrown at me. This time the truck is winning. Here's the deal. When you hit the brakes the right turn signals light up. When you hit the brake while the right turn signal is on, the lights flash like the hazzard lights are on. I have replaced the muli-function switch, and the trailer lighting haness and adapter. Now I am not sure what to try next. any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Welcome to FTE!!!

Did you check the connector at the MFS for damage/burned/corroded wires/pins?

Yes, it looked like new. My fear is I will end up on the garage floor for an entire Saturday chasing down a broken or loose wire. I also replaced every bulb on both side of the rear looking for quick fix. No releif. I used 3156 and 3157 bulbs as reccomended by Ford. Thank you for your interest in my problem!

Check for a bad ground. I would also check the brake light switch and connector.

I would look real hard at the trailer wiring harness and all the connections. Is this something that has been on the truck a while or is it new?
