The bulb could be 'blown'. Remove the working bulb from the other light and try it in the socket of the one that isn't working.

Why does the brake light not light up when you turn on the light but it light when you brake?

This is operating as intended. Brake lights are only activated when the brake pedal is pressed, irrespective of the other lights in use. It is a safety feature so vehicles behind are aware the brakes have been applied. They are separate from the tail lights so they still give a visual indication of braking whether the other lights are on or off.


Why is the Brake Lamp on a 94 Honda Accord continuously on when all light brakes are working fine?

More than likely, your brake switch is fused, or stuck down.... here. when you push on the brake, the pedal taps a button to indicate that the brakes have been pressed. this button is a gate to the power provided to the tail lights, therefore, when it is pressed, they light up. this button could be stuck. disconnect the harness and see if the lights go off. if they do, replace the switch.
