Do you have a hitch on this vehicle? If so, check to make sure the line didn't come unplugged from the wiring running back the hitch wiring. You may ahve to drop the spare tire down to do this.

If only one brake light is out (mine was driver's side) and you've tried changing the bulb, then it might be a metal contact in the bulb socket in the light assembly. Looks like the hot bulb melts the plastic and lets the one or more bulb contacts sink into the socket and pull away from the base of the bulb, preventing electrical contact. A little coating of solder on the socket contact(s) gave enough height to contact the base of the new bulb and get the brake light working again.
Hi, is there power getting to your brake switch? I have pasted the diagram below. If there is power to the brake switch, the problem is the wiring. If no power to the brake switch, it may be the fuse or the wire from the fuse to the switch.
Hello, Well there is not much more it could be unless you have a shorted wire or a burned fuse. I would normally think that the turn signal canceler was bad but the 3rd brake light will still work if that is bad so I would check all fuses and for bare or shorted wires.
The odds are the one fuse is blown for the dash and the tail lights. And the wrong bulb may have been put in for the brake light. The brake light is feeding back into the tail light circuit causing the fuse to blown out.
Change out the bulbs with OEM bulbs and replace the blown fuse. That should fix the problem.
You may need a signal light switch. If your brake and signal use the same bulb,the brake light power is directed through the signal light switch. Dodge has had problems in this switch with this exact problem.
Sounds like you need to replace your brake light switch. It is located on your brake pedal and you should be able to pick it up for around $20-$30 at your local parts store.
