Without doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle, no one can tell you what specific defect is causing your problem. Therefore this answer will of necessity be generic in nature.
Usually this type of problem is caused by what is called an "open circuit" condition.
Open circuits can be caused by several things, a few of which I can recall right now:
It is very disconcerting to replace an expensive and difficult to install component only to find that is doesn't solve the problem, AND to find out later that the problem was caused by something else, and that here was nothing wrong with the replaced component.
So, do a thorough investigation of all the connectors, connections, splices [if any], and all components of the nonfunctional light circuit(s) BEFORE replacing anything.
I would first check all the connectors in the wiring harness [loom] starting at the rear light assemblies, working forward to the main [headlight] switch.
The "proper fix" is for someone who knows what he or she is doing to troubleshoot the nonfunctional circuits, find and identify the specific defect, and properly repair it.
change the brake lights check the fuse check the brake light swtch
Check the brake light switch ,on the brake pedal. Might need adjusting.
It could be a fuse. If the brake lights do not turn on when you press the brake pedal check your fuses under your dash.
check your brake lights if they not worhing replace fuse or brake light switch
I have a 1996 Grand Marquis. If one of the brake lights goes out the signal on that side flashes faster. I would check the brake/tail lamps.
More than likely there is a switch near the top of the brake pedal that is faulty. It usually looks like a small button that is released when you press on the brake pedal which turns on the brake lights.
You have a pressure switch behind the brake pedal. It is either broke, out of adjustment, or disconnected. if it doesn't work you won't have brake lights and you won't get out of park (safety feature).
Remove the wing nuts from inside the trunk. Just pull the housing out after.
Sounds like a bad Brake Light Switch. It's located on the steering column.
APPLY BRAKES AND SEE IF BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IF NO BRAKE LIGHTS, REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. IF THAT BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS BROKE, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK
Regardless of vehicle make, model, or age, when vehiclcle brake lights remain on when the brake pedal is not depressed, the cause is that the linkage between the brake system and the switch is improperly adjusted, OR less commonly, a defective switch.
THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS NOT PUTTING OUT BATTERY WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN. CHECK TO SEE IF BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN. IF BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHIFT IT OUT OF PARK. IF NO BRAKE LIGHTS, THEN IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN REPLACE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH.
