use a meter. you need to also check the ground at the socket. whatever you are missing, may it be power or ground, trace backwards until you find the open wire or short.

some honda's came with a seprate brake switch near the tail lights....(famous for going bad) usually on the driver side. If Your car has on its most likely the problem.
