Replaced the bulbs, brake lights still won't come on. Taillights are fine so it is not a bulb issue. Checked brake light fuse it is fine so is my brake light switch. 3rd brake light is the only brake that lights up. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Good evening,

I attached a wiring diagram for you to view.

Please verify the white/tan wire off the brake light switch has power with the pedal depressed.

If it does and the 3rd light works, there may be an issue at the splice I circled where the wires to the rear lights come from.
