I have a 1999 Chevy 2500 series Van. all 3 brake lights work so long as the headlights/running lights are not on. Once the headlight/running lights are on the 3rd brake light only wors and the tail lights do not.
Often brake lights and signal lights not working indicates a
loose grounding of the rear electrical assembly. Other indicators would
be dim and/or all the lights light up (but dimly) when engaging the
breaks or activating any of the turn indicators. A way to verify this
is to hardwire another/external grounding wire to any of the metal
receptacles of the bulbs straight to a bare metal/chassis of the
vehicle.
Of course the standard procedure of checking the fuses, the harness connectors and the wire harness themselves still apply.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

The alternator is not charging the battery. Could be a bad connection bugt usually it's the alternator that's bad. The Villager & Quest both turn on the battery light and the brake light when the charging system is not working porperly
You have to remove the upper applique to remove the tail lamp, it is the trim panel above the lamp. I think it is held in place by two nuts/bolts but not sure. You have to have the rear doors open to remove it
You must have ripped the wires off underneath your truck, and you probably don't have brake lights anymore either. Better get somebody to repair it as soon as you can.
push the pedal and see if it goes to the floor slowly or fast, if so,some thing like this i would lay on the ground in the back and have some one push the pedlal and hold it, look for fluid, like wet spot near the wheels first ( i have seen wheel cylinder go bad but not leak alot at one time so keep that in mind too) and make your way to the front on the driver side inside of the fram.i dont think its the master cylinder but see if you can see a wet spot at the bottom of the master and the booster( i seen masters not leak as will )
No you cannot. you could add a switch, to them but thats going to require some soldering and cutting of wires, or you could jerry-rigged the fuse, with a switch. but really you cannot shut off the running lights. before startup.
