Default so yesterday (taillights) 2 part question

I noticed that my break lights on my taillights were not working, but my driving lamps and back up lights are not. So I'm wondering what could cause that i already checked the fuses.

The second part is, while i was pulling the taillights off to check the bulbs i noticed a couple random wires that have been spliced into my break lights. so im wondering why this would be. He's some pictures. thank you

Looks like someone did a backyard trailer wire job. The wire job might have a short. Have you check the brake light switch yet?

I would take the spliced wires back out and just match up the factory wires again
