Pretty common on those years to have a bad socket. Try wiggling the bulb in the socket with the brakes applied if you have a helper or put the flashers on. Sometimes you can bend the tabs to fix the connection, but best to just replace the socket.

I'm assuming you meant the brake lights?

That's what they're called when they work, but when they're broken a case could be made for break lights. Lol

It's probably that circuit board the light bulbs plug into. I've had to replace 2 of them.

Those circuit boards are absolute garbage. I was glad to finally find a plug and play LED setup that I didn't hate.
