this tells you is a simple wiring problem.most likely a loose wire from the third light to the other lights.(third lights provides the power to the other lights)

Yes, but I'd say they took the whole car. However i don't know if they were recalled.
If your 98 Monte Carlo brake lights do not work when you hit the brakes, but the top one behind the glass works, check the bulbs. If the bulbs have burn out, the lights will cease to work.

My rear window brake light works, but not my tail light brakes on my 1997 Monte Carlo. What is the problem?
check the multi function switch. I hava a 96 Chevy Monte Carlo and I had the same problem . I changed the multi function switch and the brakes lights now work. the rear brake lights run thru the switch on the turn signal circuit. try it and see.
Could be a fuse or could be a bad bulb. See sources and related links below for bulb part numbers.
