Try the turn signal switch in the steering column. I know it sound stupid but that is the problem and they are not cheap. At a service shop besides a dealer you are probably talking around $200+. I had the same problem, sometimes the rear brake lights would work and sometimes not but window light always worked. Good Luck

How do you fix the brake lights on a 1996 Chevy Lumina?
It depends on the exact problem. If it's that both brake lights in the back do not work and the middle one works, it could be your turn signal switch.
99 Chevy lumina and your two brake lights don't work but the middle one does what could be the problem?
TRY TURNING THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND OFF A COUPLE TIMES THEN CHECK YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS. WORKED FOR ME.
Brake lights arent coming on changed bulbs and fuses and no results what else needs to be checked on a 98 Chevrolet lumina?
If the brake lights are not coming on in your car and you have changed the bulbs and the fuses with no results, you could also check the wiring in your '98 Chevrolet Lumina. The wires may be damaged or even broken.
Brake lights don't work but tail lights do why 1996 Chevy lumina?
id cheack your brake light switch. its rightbehine your brake peddle it could be that malfunction, its a chap part to change $15 or less but u could also check your fuses if the bulbs are still good due to the bulbs having 2 separate filiments one for runin light and for brake..
Can the brake lights not work and the night lights work same bulb?
my back brake lights don't work, but the brake light on the back door does what could be wrong
What could be wrong if all the lights work on the car except the brake lights?
Could be a brake switch, its under the brake pedal arm - work the trigger manually and see if its stuck. Doublecheck your brake lights though...does the single brake light in the window work? (double check the bulb) If the brake light in the window works and the 2 tail lights do not work, then you have a bad "turn signal switch." I know, the name is confusing. The turn signal switch is the multifunction stick (cruise/wipers/turn signals) on the left side of the steering column and the large plastic and electric mechanism it operates. The steeing wheel has to come off and the unit has to be replaced. It's not easy to do for most and its not cheap either.
Have brake lights and directional lights but no tail lights?
It could be a blown fuse. Tail lights and brake/turn are on separate fuses. Apparently there is not a ground problem since brake/turn works OK.
2001 VW Beetle and the brake lights do not work. The fuses and the bulbs are all fine you just replaced the brake switch and the brake lights still do not work what else could it be?
a crappy car. my 99 beetle has the same problem. brake light switch new, bulbs and fuses new. brake lights just work whenever the heck they want. this is one of the many reasons my car has a for sale sign in the window. good luck.
Why do your brake lights flicker when you don't press the brake?
mabie they could be burning out.
What fuse controls the brake lights on 2001 Dodge Van all lights and trn signals work except no brake lights when brake pedal is pushed?
It is not necessarily the fuse. It could be the switch on the brake that is not closing the circuit.
Help with brake lights on 96 GMC jimmy?
The brake lights on a 96 Jimmy are operated by the brake light switch, mounted on the brake pedal assembly. If the switch is bad the lights could stay on or off, or be sporadic.
Brake lights on your trailblazer not working?
If you brake lights are not working on your trailblazer it could be due to a number of reasons. Your fuse could be blown, or your light may no longer work.
