have changed the bulb and checked the connection,but nothing.The directional
works as well. Any Ideas would be helpfull.

It will be inside the column turn signal switch. Did you have it
connected to a trailer that may have cooked it? Similar to this Chevy:

I think I have heard the emergency flasher switch can get sticky and
cause strange things like that. Maybe try cycling the emergency
flashers to see what happens.

Re: one brake light
 

check for short/bad connection in steering wheel turn signal donut assembly.
sometimes the turn signal plastic assembly does not return to the "neutral"
position after the turn signal cancels itself after a turn. . i have seen quite
a few of these with this problem. battery disconnect/airbag disable is a MUST.
steering wheel removal required.

Try wiggling the turn signal stalk to see if it comes on. Of course, you
have to have your foot on the brake pedal, wo you will need a friend to
watch, or you have to back up near a window and watch the reflection in the
glass.

The circuit from the brake pedal goes through the turn signal switch, the
brake light effectivley turns off when the turn signal is on. The switch can
be dirty inside, or worn or otherwise defective, and cause the brake light
to be off all of the time, yet the turn signal can still work. Basically,
the brake light doesn't know the brake pedal is depressed when the turn
signal is on. Your test is to set the other turn signal on and see if the
brake light works, or hold the brakes on, and wiggle the turn signal to see
if the errant brake light comes on.

I know this is can happen because I am having the same problem on my CJ
right now. The left side brake light does not work, but the left turn signal
does, and I can wiggle the turn signal stalk and get the left brake light to
come on again.
