Some place in the brake light circuit you have a poor ground.

Most likely the tail light and brake light sockets or even the bulbs .

A good cleaning should fix your issue .

Another possible cause is physical damage to the harness causing a short to the tail light circuit .

In that case your brake lights would come on with the tail lights
