    Brake light switch usually air pressure switch. Somewhere under cover or dashboard.

    So one thing to note in your T/S is that the SERVICE BRAKE pedal has no switch on it--it is an air pressure switch on the air manifold denoted as STOP LT SW below. It's circuit is denoted as 36 & 36B (A).

    I would first check out the switch itself and the associated circuits.
    Then you need to check the PDM.

    Here is where the switch is located--on the bottom right there you see the harness.

    Here's you PDM:

    Find the one that says STOP LT:

    This circuit then goes to your turn sig switch from the PDM that then controls your 39R and 39L (which is your combination lamps):

    From there you should then be able to find your problem.

    Hopefully that makes sense and then assists you in your trouble-shooting. If not, then I would take your truck to a certified FTL dealer to fix.
