Brake lights Tail lights out, third brake light works Question

Anyone know why the Third brake light would work when I step on the brakes and the regular tail light brake lights don't?
I have turn signals and emergency flashers working?????
The stock replacement bulbs, are two element bulbs aren't they? I mean they were working a couple of weeks ago. I have to believe the element isn't burned out if I get turn signals and emergency flashers.

Remember the third brake light harness is seperate from the rest of the tail lights. The 4th Gen. rear light sockets are notorious for corrosion. I would start there and then check the harness.

I looked at the fuses on the side panel inside the door, the one that said Brakes/flashers. Better go ohm it out.
