Try the switch. They go bad after a long time..... Although it looks like you may be having some electrical problems judging from your posts about the fan.

I had a wire ground out under my drivers seat, that caused my lights to flicker and die every once in a while

Do your brake lights work?

If NO then the problem is with a fuse or wiring.
If YES then the problem is probably with the dash switch
