I've read about LED Third Brake lights causing problems you are describing. Something about them going to ground. Think I read about one or two posts here. Unhook it and see?

I had the same problem with my turnsignals, my horn quit working too. I started searching grounds and found a lose ground on the driver side radiator support. Its up past the rubber mount facing the front of the vehicle. i cleaned it up and tightned it down and the trunsignals worked fine. so check that one out
