It sounds like the brake controller is getting an improper signal on the red wire. What vehicle wire do you have the red wire connected to? It should be a white wire just underneath the steering column. I have linked to a video below that shows which wire you should have the red brake controller wire attached to. Start at the 07:20 mark on the video.
It is always a good idea to check your ground and make sure it has direct contact with metal and is free and clear of paint or rust.
