I fought the same brake light problem. It ended up being the fuse which had corrosion on it. I ended up pulling every fuse in the block cleaning the blades and putting dielectric on em all. The thing that threw me off was that i tested fuses through the little continuity spots on the top of the fuse they were fine but the problem was the blades. Just my .02

I had the same problem on my 90 4Runner & replaced the brake light switch and other parts to no avail.
One of the wires going to the brake light switch was broken somewhere. We ran a wire from the fusebox straight to the brake light switch and that fixed it.

Good luck!

well, it was mentioned-
if it worked before the paint work, and the paint shop disconnected the brake lights, they should be the ones fixing it.

Thanks guys i'll focus some attention back on the fuse box.

Yeah running a wire will be my last resort. but it sounds like that is not to far away.

I have no proof that it happened after the paint job, i noticed it after the paint job. The reason i don't bring it back to them and tell them to fix it is it's my DD. Plus i'm doing the front axle and timing chain this weekend. Maybe next week...if i can arrange a ride.. what a PITA.

Thanks for the help...
