Without being able to do a "hands on" troubleshooting of the circuit, no one can tell you the specific cause for this problem. So, the following "generic" answer is the best I can do to help.
There could be several causes, some of which that I can think of at the moment include:
- There is a "bad" electrical connection, anywhere within the brake light circuit. This could include:
- A "loose," or even "disconnected connector or splice in the brake light circuit between the "Window brake light" and the light assemblies at the rear of the vehicle.
- Corrosion on the metal contacts inside of one or more of the wiring harness connectors.
- One or more of the conductors has been broken or cut, thus "opening" the circuit, just like turning off a switch.
There probably other reasons which do not come to my mind at this point. Good luck.

Try the turn signal switch in the steering column. I know it sound stupid but that is the problem and they are not cheap. At a service shop besides a dealer you are probably talking around $200+. I had the same problem, sometimes the rear brake lights would work and sometimes not but window light always worked. Good Luck
What could you check if your drivers side brake light works when headlights are off but not when on?
The ground for the brake lamp. When the tail lights are off, the tail light circuit can act as a ground for the brake light. When the tail lights are on, it can't.
Where does the high center brake light wiring and the brake light wiring split on a 1997 Chevy lumina. the high center brake light works but the brake lights do not?
