Re: 98 Chevy Lumina Brake Light/Turn Signal Problem

If I fiddle with the turn signal lever I can get it to flash at a normal rate and both lights will flash appropriately.
The left side has no problems except for the brake light no coming on, but the turn signals work fine. I checked the back light bulb, seems to be working but should I just go ahead and replace it? The fuse is good as well, does it need to be replaced?
Note: As per an vehicle inspection that was done, the mechanic told me I needed to replace the brake light switch, and I did but it did not help. Do I need to adjust the brake light switch at all? Tighten it in the socket, so the contact is closer to the brake lever?
Any suggestions would be great! Thank you.

the brake pedal light switch needs to be adjusted... push down on pedal very slightly switch should activate rear brake lights.... if not then switch needs to be adjusted....
