Answer 1The brake light switch may be At Fault. Answer 2 - Other PossibilitiesAnswer 1 is true, but there could be several other causes. Following are a few of the possible causes that I can recall at the moment:
  • The brake light switch is NOT properly adjusted,
  • One or more connectors in the circuit have become unplugged, or loosened,
  • Corrosion has built up on the metal contacts inside of any one or more of the usually several connectors in the circuit,
  • A bad ground, or grounds for the circuit. This is relative remote as there is usually a ground at each side for the rear lights, and unless both or all are bad, then one of the lights would work.

I suspect that there are other possible causes which I have not been able to recall. Good luck.
