My brake lights stopped working so I reached my hand underneath and found at a connection that if I move the wires a little they worked again. About two months later they stopped working again and I wiggled the same spot and they worked again. They just stopped again and I wiggled the wires and it was working but went out a few miles down the road again and will not come on anymore. I moved them around and nothing.

Check if you blew fuse #6 in the smart junction box at the right kick panel. Also, check fuse #46 in the battery junction box, located near the battery under the hood. Then when they come back on you should fix that connection.
