   Hi, this is normally because one of your brake light bulbs is not installed properly. Take them both out and see if the fault goes. Then put them back one at a time.
   
   The bulb has two lugs on the side that are offset and the bulb must be installed correctly.

   connections where the bulbs seat in the holders can corrode, take the bulbs out and clean the connections on the holder with some fine wire wool and spray with wd40.
