I'm sure you have a bad fuse. On my 92 the brake fuse was blown.

When my 87 does that, it is the brake light switch at the pedal. Its a double switch that power the third brake light seperately. Easy fix. Maybe $12.

+1 - mine was the opposite, the third brake light did not work but the tail lights did.

On my 92, looking at the fuse panel on the passenger side it is the lower left fuse, hard to see it but it is labeled "Brake". my lettering was worn off.

If its the switch and you decide to change it yourself - your a better man than I, after the cussing and swearing that went on changing the booster its going to the shop if I need to change any of that stuff under there.
