Brake lights only work when they feel like it

Well like the title says, my brake lights only come on everynow and then. If im sitting turned off for a while, like 20mins and i hit the brakes they well work, but as soon as i let go and push them again, nothing.. Same when im driving, they work everynow and then, sometimes theyll work, then i can let go and puch them again and theyll work, but thats it then there done for another half hour or so, cant say exactly how long. I was thinking to look by the break pedal there much be a switch that tells when the pedal is depressed, maybe its dirty/stuck bad conection? but i think its something more like a relay or something? becasue it only ever works once or twice in a row, if it was a bad connection it could be perfect for a day and not work for a week am i right? it wouldnt nessarly have a pattern like this? But then again could a bad ground or bad connection lead to problems with the a relay or soemthing? If anyone knows were to get a wiring diagram itd be great i cant seem to find one anywere..

thanks, vince
