You could have a bad wire going to the socket. You can test the connection with a voltmeter. If you are unsure of where to connect the voltmeter try it on the good side first when someone is applying the brakes to see how to connect the meter. Then try the bad side and if you can't get a reading you have a wire or connection problem on the bad side.
The taillight bulb has two filaments One is used for the normal tail light and the other filament is used when you step on the brake. When you step on the break both filaments are on at the same time to give the extra brightness. Take the bulb out and check the continuity of both filaments to make sure that they not burned out.

How do you unlock transmission shift lock on a 1999 suburban?
I had a problem shifting my suburban out of park. It ended up being the brake switch, it tells the transmission that you are pushing down the brake.
Why do my 1998 Pontiac grand am brakes flutter when i apply them?
Brake rotors or drums need to be machined or replaced. If it causes steering wheel shaking, check front brakes. If happens when applying parking brake look to rear brake problem.
Both of your brake lights are out what would be the cause of this and how can you repair it?
My son had the same problem on his 1995 Monte Carlo. The brake light in rear window worked , as did the tail lights and emergency flasher but no brake lights came on when pushing the brake pedal. Anyway , the problem was in the turn signal switch. This involved taking the steering wheel and column apart , taking the airbag out ( careully ) and it was more than I wanted to handle. The mechanic charged 227.00 including part and labor. .
Why does the Car change radio stations by itself how could that be and when the brake is pressed it feels like it wants to go to floor but brakes is ok?
A lot of car radios have a seek or scan button which you use to find a good station. When you've found a good station, you hit the scan button again, or another button, to stop the scanning. If you can't stop it from scanning, or it scans on its own, then you have a problem with the radio. As brake pads wear out, it takes more fluid thus more pedal travel to get them to make contact with the brake drums or rotors. It could also be a problem with low brake fluid, self adjusters not working on drum brakes, master cylinder cups worn, and air in the system. Repair it asap - as you have no room to spare.
Your 1998 VW Cabrio radio ac headlights windshield wipers just stopped working Anyone know why?
I just had this same problem with my 1998 VW Jetta. My parking brake light came on one day, but only half illuminated. Shortly after my windshield wipers and headlights stopped working. My radio works but the fans don't work either. I just found a thread which seems to point the problem at the ignition switch: http://car.justanswer.com/volkswagen/6uht-1998-volkswagen-jetta-headlights

Toyota corolla 1998 - high mount brake not working.I replaced it with a new light bulb. It is still not working. the regular brake lights are working. any ideas where to look for the problem?
check high mount brake wiring from trunk...
No tail lights all other lights working changed bulbs and checked fuses still nothing?
I had this same problem. If the bulbs and the fuses are good its most likely the brake switch. Its a plunger like switch on the brake pedal. Its usually the only thing on the brake pedal. Its pretty easy and cheap to change. I would start there.
