Search this forum for 'Rear Sam' problems. You need to offer up more information. Just the brake light doesn't work? All other electric functions work? Any water ingress or accidents? Have you scanned it?

Bulb is ok by looking at it? Or you put a brand new bulb in?

Sometimes a bulb does “look ok”, but in reality might no longer be ok.

I had a similar problem. The plastic bulb mount got fried with age and melts down a bit causing inconsistent contact. Swapped it out and it was good to go. It was for me at least. You could try that
