Check your turn signal switch. We had this problem on a 94 cutlass, the brake lites are wired thru the turn signal level and switch, it's a classic problem in these cutlasses, pull back on the turn signal indicator toward the back of the car and see if the lites come on, if so, thats your problem you have to replace the switch. To do that the steering wheel has to come off also.

Hey dhspring is most likely right about that, I just remembered a guy who had that same problem w/ the wiring in the steering wheel column and he had to replace it.
