When key is off brake lights work, but when I turn key to just before turning engine over brake lights do not work. The third brake light on cab works when key on or off. Also, the relay under the hood directly in front of driver on front of cab firewall buzzes when flashers are on, but then stops buzzing when I push on brake. And my windshield wipers only work when they want. I have replaced brake switch up under the dash. The e-brake light on dash flickers once in awhile too.

Good morning my name is Roy and I will assist.

Take a good look under the dash by the brake light switch and look for any wire harness that may be moved or around the brake light switch. It sounds like you have a harness issue. There are a lot of wires and connectors under the dash. Wiggle the wires around and see if that makes any difference as well.

Try that and report back to us with your results.
