07 Tahoe, No Brake/Stop Lights
Strange problem here....the brake lights aren't working, except for the third brake light above the back window - all fuses appear ok, the bulbs are fine. Is there a separate switch for the third brake light on the pedal? I can't figure this one out..

I think there is only one switch, however there may be more then one fuse involved... I would double check all fuses
Do you have the adjustable or non adjustable pedal ?

in2pro, I changed the switch on the pedal today, after I read on another forum that the third light would work sometimes when the switch was bad. Still no lights, then I saw a flicker out of one of them as my wife stood on the pedal. Investigation revealed that both light sockets were faulty and there was intermittent contact. I squeezed the contacts together a little with a screwdriver and now they work. I have had this car since new and it only has 37000 miles, I know those taillight assemblies have never been apart before. I wonder if there was a recall on this?

nole76 good find 
you may want to consider applying a lite coating of dielectric or silicone grease to the socket/bulb base to help prevent corrosion from moisture.
