Check brake light switch where brake pedal swings underdash. Forget the column for now which shouldn't have anything to do with brake lights,

Does the 3rd (high mount) brake light work?

no 3rd brake light does not work. the switch on the pedal i have already replaced. that didn't help. I might have to replace the multi function switch at least that what someon suggested and that is in the steering column.

Don't replace the multifunction unless you get the high mount working and not the lowers. You need to check fuses and power in and out of the brake light switch.

Sounds like a bad brake light switch and a bad combination switch.
