Emergency flashers remain constant ON when the brakes are applied

Sometimes there are 2 flashers, one for the 4-way emergency and the other for turn signals.

Little confused about brake lights turning on/but not flashing. There is a switch on the brake pedal lever or on the clutch lever depending if it has a manual transmission. This switch often gets hit by the drivers feet and dislodged or broken. If it is broken it can do weird things by routing electric to wrong places. Since you have brake lights it is less likely to be bad but worth a look.

Turn signal stalk. Can break in so many ways. One thing to try is to push the 4-way flasher off and on about 20 times. The internal contacts for the flashers share the emergency function. Using the 4-way button can re-shift the contacts back to normal.

Ground wire or connection probably requires renewal.

check that all your bulbs are correct and are making contact. this commonly happens when a wrong bulb is installed in a socket. the other reason this happens is a bad ground, and one bulb uses another as a ground path. I would start at the rear left light and check that everything is good there, then move on to the front. 99 percent of these kinds of problems are at the lights themselves.

You may have a broken shoe spring. Or your automatic adjustment pin may be either warped or broken.

if you do not have an owner manual for your truck try this website to see if you can download one its www.edmunds.com if all fails stop by your local ford dealer and stop in the parts department and ask if they can download one for you.

Flasher Unit sounds bad... change the flasher, which is in the inboard fuse panel.
