could be the light itself,the red brake wire that comes off the rear brake lights that feeds this stop light,sometimes things get shoved against this wire and its cut,or if it splits off in the frame,it could also be broken here too
Most of the stopping power goes to the front of the car. You usually go thru two sets or sometimes three sets of front pads before you need to change the rear brakes. It sounds odd the rear brakes need to be replaced at 22,000. havee the front brakes been replaced before?
There is an 'access panel' in the trunk liner right behind the tail lamp assy. Loosen wingnut to release cover. Now you have access to the bulb sockets. Be sure you replace the bulb with the same type (dual filament).. otherwise you could cause a short circuit between the 'parking lamp' and the 'brake lamp' circuits.
one of two ways to replace it you either access it throught trunk or you have to remove the high mount light housing and replace it that way. usually if you have to pull the housing off it just snaps in some are held in with a couple of screws
Check the connection at the brake light switch for power comming out to the barke lights,try feeding power to the brake lights manualy using a jumper wire from your fuse box or battery,unplug the wire from the switch and put power to the harness if everything is OK the brake lights will work,then you need a new switch.
