check for bare wires or burnt wires. On of my wires lost some insulation some how and grounded out my brake light. just had to wrap electrical tape around it.

Could be the backup switch in the trans. One of the contacts inside the trans where the switch goes is worn out so I had a toogle switch and wiring done to bypass it.
