well, if your car is "tilted", most times, if the body is that badly out of shape, they can't straighten it out due to the fact that it'll compromise the structrual integrity of the body even more. If you have access to it, you can get a voltmeter and have someone step on the brakes and measure for voltage going to that particular brake light. If you have no voltage, you have an open circuit somewhere between the pedal and light assembly.

Maybe check and see if you have a broken spring.
