Hi there,

Check the brake light fuse, and if that is OK, check the brake light switch on top of the brake pedal, check for power going in and power going out when the pedal is depressed.

I agree with Mark, replacement of the brake lamp switch is in order. The part# could be either 61-31-8-360-420 for the two lead connector switch or 61-31-8-360-417 for the four lead connector switch.
