Does sound like a brake light issue. Check the brake bulbs first, if all appear ok then swop the upper and lower bulbs or just temporarily remove them to see if the fault goes away.
Beyond that the brake light switch above the brake pedal would be the next thing to check.

Brake light globe or brake light switch? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
