But if the contacts at the center position are bad, brake lights won't work.
You can tear apart the multifunctional switch and clean the contacts, that's what I did and it has worked ever since

So turns out it is the turn signal switch, I cleaned out the switch and now they work but I am going to replace cause that switch has been acting bugging with my turn signals as well
