I have a 1995 Chevy k1500 and the brake lights went out except the third light still works. I have checked bulbs, fuses, and wires. Power does get to the lights. I got pulled over and i have a limited time to fix this and i dont know what is.

If you have power at the light socket, then you have a ground issue or a connection issue with the bulb.
I lost all rear lights and ended up being the connector from the frame to bed had come loose enough to break connection

Does the hazards and blinker work back there? What's it do when you push on the brake pedal and blinker at the same time? I believe the voltage to burn the the tail lights is through the turn/hazard switch because when braking and blinking the whole light shuts off and on.
