problem solved!!! but not sure how.

i changed out both tail lights and 3rd brake light with my buddys GS and we both didnt get that brake warning light.

then we changed it back... my tail light on my car and his on his car. damn brake warning light was on but only on my car.

so we just traded tail lights. mine on his car and his on mine. no brake warning light. leaving it like that.

thank you all for your help and sorry i dont have a answer to my own problem

then i removed all the socket from the tail lights just so i can see if the light are working and they all light up
so u replaced all 15 lights (i think its 15, 5 per taillight + 5 for high mount))

i got a feeling soon he'll have the same brake light out issue though....as that makes no sense to change why yours wouldnt light up unless you have a faulty bulb on one as i said mine would sometimes light up and sometimes not

yes, every bulb in both tail lights and 3rd brake light was changed to brand new bulbs.

it makes no sense to me too, but the warning light is gone and im happy. hope it dosent come back on
