Did you check the voltage? Maybe bad ground?

Find the brake light switch and try reversing the wires on connector leads...if not they may be just loose ..The switch is on the right just behind the transmission cover.I have a 92 and mine will vibrate loose every so often ,but after so much trouble shooting,it was reversed leads .( I reinstalled backwards after installing a new switch)
