As of this post, here is what’s been done to remedy this situation. Testing tool used: Klein Tools CL120 Voltmeter.
1. Changed bulbs, and also inspected sockets, and tested for continuity: there is tone.
2. Changed and re-inspected fuses: tone from sockets and also new fuses.
3. Replaced brake light switch under dash above the brake pedal; tested socket continuity: there is tone.
4. Changed all but one brake/rear light relay (the sun was setting.) Unsure of how to test for continuity in this case.
5. Checked the engine fuses related to the brake or rear lights; no replacements made: there is tone.
Once again, the odd thing is that the top rear brake light bar is functioning, but not the two on the rear; And yet the hazards, reverse, and turn signal lights are all functional.
