If the brake light comes on when you jump the wires, but not when you step on the brake pedal, that means that the problem is with the brake switch.

With a multimeter set to the ohms (or continuity) setting to test continuity and see if the continuity changes when you activate the switch.

It's a bad brake light switch, replacing it should solve the issue.
