More than likely this is a brake light switch issue if the third brake light is out as well.

However, if not then the TIPM is the issue. I attached the wiring diagram below that we need to use to test the voltage to determine if the TIPM is the issue.

I also attached the process for the TIPM as I suspect this is the issue.

Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
