Default 07 Caliber SXT Sport Brake Chime

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have an 07 Caliber SXT Sport manual trans. When I press down the brake pedal I hear a chime or ding sound coming from the left side of the dash. When I turn the right blinker on and then apply the brake I hear the sound and then the blinker blinks fast. The blinker doesn't stop blinking fast until I turn it off. Then I can turn it on and it blinks normal until I apply the brakes. When it blinks fast the blinker light, brake light, back up light and running light on the right rear all blink in sequence. There's no problem on the left side, the head lights or fog lights. I've checked the fuses, replaced the bulbs, replaced the brake switch, traced and inspected wires/grounds and checked the PCM for codes with my OBDll scan tool for which there was none. I would appreciate any help this. Thank You!

Problem solved. It was a problem with the TIPM module. A poor design with a lot of defects on most Chrysler products. I simply cut the grounds on the 3 light sockets on the right rear, spliced them together to one bigger wire, drilled a hole behind the light, attached the wire to a bolt, screwed it in and problem solved. Like new! Someone I met had a similar problem with his front left lights and horn on his Charger. The ground cut and splice worked for him.
