There are two filaments in the bulb that is used for taillights and brake lights. Make sure BOTH filaments are good before assuming that the bulb is not burned out. If, in fact, both filaments are good, next check the brake light switch. If it is good, check the turn signal switch that is in the steering column
sorry, no it will not. they changed the radios in 2000. notice the face on the 2002 has round corners but the 98 has square corners. now the good news any radio out of a Dakota/ram/stratus/breeze etc from 99 back about 5-6 years will fit. I just put a 96 stratus am/FM/cass/CD in my 97 Dakota & son did the same in his 99 ram
I think I can answer my own question. Went to walmart and found a brake light for a tow hitch, with a logic circuit on it for $10. I also purchased a converter from a 7 way trailer hitch plug to a 4 way, which is needed for the trailer hitch light. It also was $10. so I will tap into the logic circuit to the third brake light. for $20 it solved my problem. Thought I would pass this along.
The fuses are located in the fuse panel behind the drivers seat. Replace the fuse.
Rebuilt shafts are usually approx. $90.00-$120.00 at a wholesale parts store and about 1-1.2 hrs per side at a shop to replace

what will make the brake light not work on a 1996 dodge dakota? fuses are good and bulbs are good
Fuse 7 controls the brake lights. It should be a red 10amp fuse.
Often these are accessed thru the trunk; have you tried that?
replace front brake rotors and pads.
When your foot puts pressure on the brake pedal there is a switch that relays the brake pedal being pushed to the lights which makes them turn on.
Sticking brake calipers. This can be caused by moisture in the brake fluid which will cause the calipers to rust. Replace the calibers and replace all the brake fluid. It can also be caused by driving with your foot on the brake.
There is what is called a brake sensor. This sensor has to engage to sent a signal to the transmission to release the pawl so that you can shift it. Replace the brake pedal sensor. It is usually on the top of the pedal arm upward under the dash. This will also cause the brake lights not to work. Good luck.
Start with checking the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir. If it is low for whatever reason, those lights will come on.
Check bulbs - they are double filamented smaller is for turn and brake lights
