1 Brake Light Switch problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

The instrument cluster on mine is starting to fail, the gauges aren't always accurate, the brake light stays on most of the time even though there is no problem in the brake system the parking brake sensor is good already checked it, and the fluid level is full and the sensor in the master cylinder is good. Due to the cluster malfunction especially at night the interior light will come on and stay on while driving leading to a glare on the windshield and side windows witch makes seeing where your going very difficult, and above the cluster on the dashboard it begins to get hot while driving seems to be a safety issue. While the truck is parked the interior light will come on for no reason. I checked the switch its not that and from what ive gathered its the instrument cluster and the connection on it, the clusters seem to be a weak spot on these trucks ive seen multiple trucks with this problem.
