There is no relay for the brake lights. One less thing to go bad.
It's almost certainly corrosion at the lights. Do all the other rear lights work? The turn signals, the tail lamps, the reverse lamps?
As I recall, what you need to do is remove the "circuit board" that the bulbs mount into, and clean off the accumulated corrosion on the metal bits. Also make sure that the connector that goes onto the board is clean, and the contacts on the board as well.
