Brake light switches are pretty universal in function:
* Activate the brake lights * Send an electrical signal to the shift interlock (or similar phrase) - allows the vehicle to be shifted out of park. This has been a safety feature for many years.
Brake switches are mounted to the brake pedal arm and has a simple wire connection and just a bolt or 2 for mounting.
Easy to test, easy to replace.

What causes brake light failure in a 2002 astro while turn signals still work?
There might be a switch attached to the brake pedal. When depressing the brake, at a certain point in the travel of that pedal, it trips a switch, which turns on the brake lights. Have someone check to see if the high mount brake light is or is not coming on, too. Chances are it is that brake light switch.
