Back brake lights flash on while truck is off

I have notice that periodically my brake lights come on for a few seconds while the truck is off.
I first noticed this coming back from a walk and saw the brake lights on with the truck in the driveway. At first I thought someon was in the truck, but it was still locked. Since that time I have noticed it several more times and I just came back from a week vacation to find the battery was dead.

Does anyone know what might be causing the brake lights to flash periodically like this??

That's a new one on me! We have seen a member here who's headlights would come on periodically. Good luck and maybe someone that has had this problem before will help you out.

I would think a quick check of the brake light switch under the pedal may be needed just to see if it's a bit screwed up. Could be making intermittent contact or something. Another possible thought is the alarm system might be malfuntioning, if you have one.
