I think fuse 24 in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) under the hood is the fuse for the brake light system. It should be a 15 amp fuse. This fuse does not feed the lights directly except for the high mounted light on back of the cab. The rear brake lights are controlled by the Front Control Module (below and part of the IPM) based on a signal from the brake switch. The FCM gets its power from fuses 11 and 13 in the IPM (both 30 amp fuses). If all the fuses are good, you'll need to check the wiring and the FCM.

Check the bulbs for continuity, the bulb holders for internal corrosion and the connections themselves for integrity.

Either a multifunction switch, or a body control module problem. Possibly the flasher itself.

I have the manual, will scan it for page you need, but need to have your email address to send it.
SOURCE: 1997 dodge avenger turn signal probs and location
replace the turn signal switch it self, mine did the same thing with the left turn signal, put in fuse and it will continue to flash... went to junk yard pulled one out of a 97 avenger just like mine, swapped them out and now it works fine. looked to be like some corrosion... to repace: 3 screws under columb, 2 screws on side of signal switch (black plastic side). unplug and replace

If the bulbs are good I would suspect the Brake light switch.
Brake Light Switch: Testing and Inspection
The brake lamp switch can be tested with an ohmmeter. The ohmmeter is used to check continuity between the pin terminals.
Switch Circuit Identification
- Terminals 1 and 2: brake lamp circuit
- Terminals 3 and 4: RWAL/ABS module and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) circuit
- Terminals 5 and 6: speed control circuit
Switch Continuity Test
NOTE: Disconnect switch harness before testing switch continuity.
With switch plunger extended, attach test leads to pins 1 and 2. Replace switch if meter indicates no continuity.
With switch plunger retracted, attach test leads to pins 3 and 4. Replace switch if meter indicates no continuity.
With switch plunger retracted, attach test leads to pins 5 and 6. Replace switch if meter indicates no continuity.
