your light wires have been crossed somewhere ( probably at the tail lights, brake light circuit crossed with marker lights ) look for recent wiring work on the lights and make sure the proper wires match up.
Check for a short in the brake light circuit. A dead short will dim lights & blow fuses. Have you checked the charging system & battery? Pull the fuse for the brake lamp circuit & see if the same problem still exists.
The brake lights on a 1993 Topaz are typically controlled by the fuse labeled "STOP" in the fuse box. The fuse box is usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. If the fuse is intact and the brake lights still do not work, you may need to check the brake light switch and bulbs.
A defective brake light switch could cause the problem. Also a defective turn signal switch could also. The brake lights work through the turn signals. It cancels the brake light so that the turn signal can work.
Many taillight assemblies are equipped with bulbs with dual filaments, one for tail lights and one for brake lights. If you have one bulb with two filaments, then the problem you describe sounds like the brake light filament in the left bulb is burned out but the tail light filament is working.
The development of the first brake light is not actually known. They appeared in 1905 but took a while to catch on. By 1928 11 US States adopted brake lights
headlight switch
More than likely the brake light switch is defective or out of adjustment.
Check bulbs they are double filamented smaller for brake lights larger for tailights Check the fuse Check the operation of the stoplight switch
Low beams are burned out.
A shorted wire in the console or the brake circuit. Does the car still have brake lights? If there are no children in your household then it is possible to defeat the lockmechanically.
I have the same problem- press on the brake, no brake lights. Press on the brake and pull back on turn signal/high beams lever, brake lights turn on! Jiggle the lever, brake lights turn on, but left turn signal does not work. I have replaced the switch that is down near the brake pedal and that is not the problem. I think you may need to replace the whole turn signal/high beams/cruise control switch....or at least that's what I'm going to try.
All the lights on a bus are: 4 way flashers (4) cation lights ( yellow ) 4 cation lights ( Red ) 4 strobe light (top of bus) (1) back up lights (2) brake lights (4) blinkers (4) head lights (low beams) (2) head lights (high beams) (2)

The tail lamp fuse is out. This happend on my 94 q45
Easy
Your tail lights are designed to come on with your low beams so that drivers behind you can see you better. It basically assumes that it is dark out. Im assuming you are referring to your tail lights, as tail lights and brake lights are two differing brightness bulbs in the same lens housing. Your tail lights will come on with your headlights, but your brake lights only come on when you depress the brake.*Note: If you were referring to the actual brakelights, do not drive your car on public roads or your chances of being in a rear-end collision are very high. Take your car to a certified automotive technician and have them checked out.
Yes, it has brake lights.
