I would assume the brake switch as well. Not very expensive if I am correct. You should be able to get it at any automotive store.

did you check the bulbs? they are a dual filament. brake filament can be bad. as the running light is good. fuse?

Filliments were both intact they are dual filliment and yea I'm gonna have to do that then when I get paid any idea on why the switch would go bad? Obvious answer is its old lol but anything that could really cause it

bad connectors? check for loose connectors, corrosions, bent/broken terminals. check if its getting voltage with a multimeter.
