Your brake light switch is faulty or out of adjustment. It is connected on brake pedal arm. When the brake pedal is released, it opens the brake light circuit, preventing the brake lights from illuminating. Check to make sure the switch is contacting the brake pedal stop where it should.

Hope this helps..
