So, we can help you more if we know exactly what your problem is.
I am sorry, but he wouldn't have to ask for help, if he knew exactly what the problem is.

I admit, I didn't read all replies, so someone might have already sugested this one.
Does your vehicle have a third brake light?
It probably does, check all the light bulbs for correct wattage.
Sylvania bulbs have partnumbers or model numbers on it, but no wattage, I believe.
All stop lights are 21W light bulbs. If one of them is less than 21 watt, you may get intermittend "Check Light" dashboard triggers.
It could also be, simply a bad connection, sometimes wire crimps look good but are broken inside the wire insulation. Way to find out, just pull on it, if it stretches, the wire is broken inside.
