Finicky Brake Lights

Alright... brake lights didn't work, so i replaced the brake light switch.  Worked fine... for about 3 days.  Now they're off again.  How many grounds effect the brake lights, or would it be something wrong with the switch connections or something (signals and running lights work fine, hazards don't but i'm guessing it's just the fuse, i'll replace later today).

Also front marker lights don't work, and front passenger signal stays on but blinks brighter when on.  Is all this related by any change?

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Have to say wires at the signal stock or the stock itself are bad.

Are you wired up for trailer lights?  If you have a converter for trailer lights they will go bad and do what you describe.  My left signal comes on when I hit the brakes because of mine. ....Steve
