Are all the brake lights out? Or is the 3rd brake light still working? If they're all out I'd suspect the brake light switch. But if the 3rd brake light is working I'd suspect the turn signal switch. The 3rd brake light is not wired through the turn signal switch. But the other two are. Hope that helps! Jim
