Changing the brake lights will not fix your issue, the bulb has nothing to do with the operation of the brake pedal. My guess would be the actual switch on the pedal. If that does not fix it, you might need to do some electrical diagnosis. See if the switch is getting power, and then find the wire that runs along the car and test in various spots for the same signal. Once you find it has no signal, work backwards to find the broken wire.

Is my brake stopper missing? Noticed brake lights not working when I’m town today. Shifter also stuck. I had my brake shifter replaced. Brake lights worked but shifter still stuck. Next stop I noticed brake lights not coming on again. I cannot tell if the stopper missing by reading the thread and looking at the photos. I’m adding photos of mine w/brake pedal pressed and not pressed. Thank you all so much!

If the plastic stopper on the brake pedal falls out, the brake lights will be on all the time. The brake lights not lighting up is something else, possibly a bad fuse.
