Hey Andrew,
My 2000 did the same thing when I got my trailer. The bulbs on the trailer
are either in upside down for the wiring or the wiring is backwards.
Basically the bulbs are on bright as if you have the brakes on when you
don't and when you hit the brakes they go dim like they should be with the
brakes off. I don't remember if I flipped the bulb or pulled the wires and
flipped them. It was just on one side of my trailer cause guys that wired
it were in a hurry, it did not get to there shop till closing and I was
there waiting on it so they did a rush job wiring it. I hope this helps.
