Brake box wiring problems.

I had a brake box installed by a local shop last year shortly after getting my truck. I wasn't very happy with the work after it took them nearly all day just to install the box, however the few times I've needed it it worked flawlessly.

My problem is that the light comes on when hitting the brakes somtimes, it actually fluxuates with every use of the clutch pedal. Its like the pressing the clutch in will turn the power onto the light and every time I brake pedal it will come on. Press the clutch in again and its like it turns the power off for the light. This is a on-going ever changing pattern throughout the day. Now of course all of this is without a trailer being hooked up.

Any ideas on the matter? Is it possible something it wired up wrong?
