OK, I have had a problem since I got the truck a couple of months ago. The left brake light/tail light bulb would burn out every week or two. Changed them out, cleaned the contacts, used dielectric grease...kept burning out. Then a couple of weeks ago I got this ridiculous lamp out light and constant dinging of the alarm. It would stop and then start again...PITA. So I read that the circuit boards in the back go bad a lot. Changed out the circuit boards (new), new bulbs, dielectric grease and then, after less than a week I got another "lamp out" message on the way home today. No constant alarm, just the lamp out message. Checked when I got home and both center (brake) rear bulbs were out. What the heck is going on?

My first guess would be you have a poor weather seal causing water to enter and short something out.
