Sounds like the stoplight switch on the brake pedal assembly or a short in the wiring. The CHMSL is triggered by the stoplight switch. Disconnect the stoplight switch and test for power on both the orange & white wires. There should be +12V to the orange wire, but the white wire should not. If there is +12V on the white wire, there is a short in the system somewhere. While the stoplight switch is disconnected, test for continuity. It should close when the pedal is depressed, but open when not depressed.

It is possible for the multifunction switch to back feed into the stoplight circuit if things were to go really wrong inside.
