Alright so my pedal pad that turns the brake lights on or off broke and drained my battery. It sat like that a couple days, just now i fixed it and jumped the battery/ let it recharge via the alternator. However i noticed my left brake light wasnt turning on. Ive done everything in hopes of fixing it nothing seems to work.

all other tailights/brake lights work, replaced the bulbs with new ones/swapped with known working ones, checked fuses. The running lights work but they wont get brighter when the pedal goes down. So if i turn the headlights on the brake lights up like normal but it doesn't get brighter to distinguish that im braking and dont just have the lights on. Its strange and i have nothing else to try so i figured id ask here for input.

again this is the inner brake light on the drivers side (left) on a 1998 civic ex sedan thats faulty(?)
