Neil,
What you have is a bad ground causing a feedback and the brake lights to flash
faintly until you step on the brake when the increased current flow causes the
indicator light to go out.
find the ground wire(s) for the passenger light assembly (ah what the heck do
both sides and save yourself some time later). Follow them, clean each
connector with a wire brush is possible or sandpaper if not. When you get to
the ground screw remove it. clean the connector and sandpaper the body under
the connector area. If you can lay you hands on some star washers use them
under the bolt head. This should cure your problem.
Good luck
