It is most likely the problem is with the brake light switch above the brake pedal arm. Check for power there with a 12 volt test light. Without the brake pedal pressed one side of the switch will light the test light, when the brake pedal is depressed both sides of the switch connector will be hot. Let me know what you find. You can buy a 12 volt test light at any auto parts store for about $5
Alot of times the socket gets deformed from heat and doesnt make contact. The thing to do is check for voltage at the wire going into the socket, as well as the term. in the socket. Also, you might have to attach a ground wire to the bulb, that is also a problem. Now if you dont have voltage on -In the Socket, you may have a broken wire, in the harness.
THAT RIGHT IF BRAKE SWITCH BAD NO BRAKE LIGHT WILL WORK.SPRAY ELECTRICAL CLEANER IN BULB SOCKET BULB SOCKET COULD HAVE OXIDATION AND CORROSSION CAUSING POOR CONTACT.
Found this problem on a few Blazers and S-10s . Try pushing the hazard button in and out a dozen or so times then turn them off and check brake lights. The brake light circuit runs though the turn signal switch and hazard switch. Contacts get dirty and wont let power get through. Hope it works for you!
Flasher module (under dash by left leg); possible fuse in panel driver side dash by door; possible relay in power center under hood on driver side by brake booster.
sounds like ground problem- remove tail lights and look for wires going to body -remove screww clean grounding area and replace- both sides. You did not say whether the lights work when car is off? With car off and brake pedal pushed is there any brake lights ? If not procede with above.
