Pull fuse 8 and check for voltage on one of the 2 terminals in the fuse block.
Do you have a trailer connector on your truck?

Look for this connector under the dash and see if it's loose or has wiring problems.

What I just discovered. Bulbs are "murphy proof" but the socket is not. In the wrong way, brake light stays lite. Too much current, blows the fuse..

Wouldn't let me edit. I know this is an old post, but wanted to give my solution to this.
