It could be a wire / switch at the pedal...

or maybe someting in the light housing is wet or jumping.

do you have auto? It might be something inside the case.

also check the e-brake... though I'm not sure if that engages the taillights.

the little rubber plug that goes into the hole in the brake pedal arm has fallen out. that pushes on the brake switch when the brake pedal is released and turns off the brake lights. i used a round head stove bolt,a short one. the round part goes towards the switch.

if this was a domestic car from that year you would have a lot worse electrical problems then brake lights. here is the place where the little plastic plug goes. this has a stovebolt in it,this solves the problem of the plug falling out. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/2050000-2050999/2050019_166_full.jpg what did you spend eighty bucks on? http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/2050000-2050999/2050019_167_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/2050000-2050999/2050019_168_full.gif

yea that was deff the problem and it worked,... i took a bolt and a nut and put it in that little hole and problem solved,... i should of come here first instead of buying new sensors thinking that was the problem,.. that set me back 80 bucks the nut and blot were free.
