E26 Brake light Circuit warning

[Rob Boucher <boucher@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Digesters,

1993 E36 325is:
This morning I was driving down the highway and the OBC
started to display the message "BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT"
"SEE OWNERS MANUAL"
When I got to work I tested the tail lights and they
work fine. The middle brake light in the rear
window doesn't work; however, it hasn't worked for over 3 
months and never did I get an OBC message. So I checked
the brake light circuit fuse and it is fine. I recently 
had a brake job so I know that the pads are good. The brake
fluid is at the normal level. When I looked in the owners manual
there was no useful information other than it can be anything 
from a failed tail light to a failed system. If you have any
ideas/suggestion please let me know. 

Thanks is advance!
