That doesn't make sense. OEM bulbs just plug into the socket. Is this a non OEM setup?

Did they cut off the wires right at the electrical connector? Can you take a picture of the damage?

I guess you'll want to splice the wires back together, matching colors.

Burned-out bulbs?
Blown fuses?
What have you already checked (to rule out)?

Which brake light on the dash is on? The one by the car icon or the "big" brake light.

Also, could be be spelling, you say "the bulb is good". Have you replaced the bulb(s), if you have a volt meter or test light, can you test the voltage at any of the socket(s) at the rear....what does it tell you.
