Need help with Break lights, 2001 LS 3.0
Checked fuses, all fine. Pulled break lights, working fine. When I use the car alarm and double hit the lock button on the key fob the break lights flash. The only problem is when I hit the break, I get nothing, no lights except for the middle light on the back dash.
Any ideas? Again, left and right break lights are non responsive when I hit the breaks.
Please advise.

I strongly advise you read what I wrote.
I PULLED THE BULBS. They are on seperate bulbs for the break and the tail. I PULLED THEM, THEY DO WORK.
Again, I strongly advise you read what I wrote before acting ignorant next time. Thanks!
The tail lamps and brake lamps are both together in one bulb (3157K) with 2 elements. The tail lamps can work while the brake lamps don't. Since the CHMSL works it's almost guaranteed that your brake lamps are out.
Put in 2 new 3157K bulbs and that will most likely fix your problem. And even if it doesn't you've ruled out that piece of the system.
Instead of acting like the grammar police, you could have politely addressed my question, knowing perfectly well what I meant.
Moving on now...
Is there anyone with an opinion other than commisioner dictionary here, who might know another cause? Seeing as I've replaced both bulbs and stated that I have ruled it out as a probable cause? I'd greatly appreciate any POSITIVE input.
Thank you
So, like Allen says, it's looking more like a wiring issue -- something between the CHMSL (centre light, I assume) and the trunk wiring.
I almost chimed in at the beginning to let you know you were going to hear about your spelling, but I'm getting older and (slightly) less inclined to stir the pot.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.
thank for any advice
