Default break pedal

F150 Lariat 2008, V8 5.4, Having problem with brake lights cumming on and then going off when truck is parked and turned off. Don't stay on long, sometimes for 2 or 3 secs some times for 15 or 20. Sixteenth to eighth Inch of play in pedal, can pull up goes off for a little while. Braced up with stick no problems is there a way to adjust?

First thought is a weak or obstructed spring, or whatever makes pedal return.

The spring in the brake lamp switch itself is also pretty damn strong
I would be inclined to replace the brake lamp switch and retest it

Yeah it sounds like a failing brake light switch.
