This is a common problem with that car. It is caused when the ground connection on the brake/taillight socket stops making full contact.
The official way to fix this problem is to replace the taillight assembly, but the way I fixed mine was to slightly bend up the ground connector inside the taillight.
The ground is the tab that's by itself (there are 2 others that are together).
VERY gently with a tool, pry the metal so it's bent a little upwards. This will allow it to make contact with the socket again. You have to be very delicate because it's fragile. It doesn't take very much effort to bend.
I tried this and it worked great! Thanks for the info.
