So i looked at it some more this morning and i think its the turn signal switch, when u hold it on the brakes work fine but when you click it down the brake light goes out so i thing its in the arm but im still not sure.

i would check all the fuses and the wiring behind the tails to make sure nothing is wrong with it

please read the following from a previous thread, I believe this is the best answer for your issue

Skylark65(Ryan) posted it about having the same issues, good luck and I'm sure if he stops by the forum he will be able to give you more specific answers?
