Default 1994 dodge dakota signals and brake lights messed up

i have a 1994 dodge dakota and my signal lights either freeze solid and i have to manually make them flash by moving switch on and off or the right one will work and left stays froze and four ways dont work unless truck totally shut off and key out of ignition. i also noticed last night that my brake light are permentaly on. even with brake pedal switch disconnected. any idea ?

For the blinkers I'd say you need a new flasher. Not sure on the brake lights.

Yes probably a bad flasher or a bad bulb. Sometimes when people wire up for trailer light hookups they hack up the stock wiring harness which causes tail light problems. Check the wiring harness.
