This is what i have found. There is a pigtail that runs from the brake switch to a connector that is mounted above the steering column and then to a wiring harness block located below the dash. In the Tahoe i was working on it appeared that the repeated applying of the brakes worked one of the wires (the orange one) in two. IE. bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and see what happens. I spliced the wire back together and the lights worked again.

Try checking the fuse first. If it's ok there is a brake light switch on the steering column under the dash, or on the master cylinder under the hood. If it is on the column check that the wire isn't loose or the switch came loose. You should be able to unplug the switch and take a short peice of wire and jump it between tne connectors. There should be only two wires to it. If the lights work change the switch.

SOURCE: 95 chevy tahoe no BRAKE LIGHTS

first thing I would suggest is replacing one of the bulbs to see if they are both just burned out.Other than that it may just be a fuse

My 1995 Chevy Tahoe brake light switch wont stay in position and the brake lights stay on. I replaced the switch and had the same problem.

Brake Light Switch REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disable the SIR system (if equipped).
  3. Remove the clip (R/V Series) or unclip the switch (C/K Series) and unplug the electrical connector from the brake light switch.
  4. Remove the switch.
  5. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Brake lights dont work (95 Tahoe) but have signal and running lights and top brake light good fuses

Sounds like the turn signal switch. Top brake light is wired direct so it will always work.

99 Chevy Tahoe... Rear turn signals, brake lights, and hazards

I had this problem, and to be honest, it happened to the left side about a week later...it's the board that the bulbs plug into...it's a very common problem with this model. So popular that you can normally get the socket board off the shelf at a parts store! it's extremely simple to replace, and I replaced all the bulbs at the same time!
