    I have the same thing with a 1996????

    I'd check the wiring from the top brake light to the brakes.

    I'd look for rust at the bulb socket then on the wire connectors.

    A $10 electrical tester will enable you to see if power is getting to the bulbs and may help you find a short in the wiring.

    Have you tried this?

The ground wire in the trunk area, coming from the brake light harness, might have come off or really loose. Hope this will get your lights working again. Best wishes.

1997 Chevy Lumina REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DONT WORK
This will either be a fuse or the brake light switch which is on the pedal it's self. More likely the switch as these are fickle at best.

I have changed my brake switch, fuses, and bulbs in my 1997 chevy lumina and the brake lights still will not work at all, my signal lights only work. What could be the problem?
here is howw it goes, the power from the fuse goes to the brake switch then to the signal light switch and from there to the rear lights, test for signal from the brake switch to the turn signal, if good the signal switch is bad

I am looking to buy a 1997 Chevy Lumina but the Brake lights don't work. Changed bulbs. Turn signals work just no brake lights. The brake light in the back window works but the ones on the back of the car...
Check the brake light switch on the top of brake pedal, it's most likely the cause.

I am having problems with rear brake lights,checked all bulbs, replaced brake switch, fuses checked, loose wires, both running lights and signal work, car is a2001 chevy lumina
Check the turn signal switch. especially if the center brake is the only brake light that comes on when you step on the brake pedal. Sometimes wiggling the switch will get the brake lights to work momentarily.

The brake lights wont work. The brake light over
the break light wire on the lumina runs through the blinker switch or multifunction switch on the colum.. check there as well as at the tail light sockets. on the late 90s gm cars the sockets had a tendancy to rot away... use a test light at the brake light wire in the trunk and have a friend apply the break. if there is power then may have to get new tail lights. or replacement bulbs.

Brake lights don't work on 97 chevy lumina sedan
Had the same issue in the spring. Replace the turn signal switch. A general weakness in the switch in these years. Replacement solved the problem in my 97 Lumina.
