as a matter of fact i dont know if the brake lights ever worked since i bought the XJ about 2 weeks ago.. so i looked under dash and guess what ... there is nothing connected to the brake light switch.. and i dont see any plugs that would plug into it.. i see some cut wires...

can some1 show me a pic of the connector that plugs into the brake light switch? here is a pic of it
