Best Answer

There is a small switch located with the brake pedal near where the pedal goes into the floor. This switch breaks easily or gets bent and is what signals the brake lights to work when you push the pedal. This is a very inexpensive replacement part found at almost all parts stores and just pretty much clips into place. Be careful when mounting it because by nature if the switch slips closed before its mounted it's then no good. Your parts dealer can show you what I mean.

On a 2000 Venture only the third brake light works What if the fuse bulbs and brake light switch are good what should you check?

If you have the 3rd light working, then you already have a brake signal going to the back of your van. This eliminates the fuse & switch. I would check the bulbs again. I've seen bad bulbs that looked good. make sure the bulbs are correct for the vehicle.. make sure they are installed correctly.
