I had that same sort of problem a couple of years ago with my 94 cutlass, and I fiddled with the turn signal switch and that was the problem.Hope this helps. [email protected]

Exactly... your turn signal switch is the problem. The lower brake lights are routed through the turn signal switch, while your high mount brake light is not.

You need a new turn signal switch, this is notoriously bad in 94 Cutlasses, you have to replace the switch in the steering column, it cost about $75 and a dealer will charge you 200-300 to put it in, or do it yourself, you have to take off teh steering wheel to do this.
