I looked at the brake pedal, and there are actually 2 switches on the brake pedal and 1 on the clutch. Is it possible that the car has 2 brake light switches? Please help, I'm all out of ideas. Oh yeah, one of the switches has two wires, this one controls the 3rd brake light. The other one has 6 or 8 wires.

No, one switch is for the cruise control. Anyway, check the grounds for the rear of the car. I'd bet they're loose.
