It depends on what year Pontiac this car is.
Make sure power is getting to the brakes switch. The regular and third brake lights are on different circuits.
On your year, the regular brake lights may go through the turn siganl switch.

Well, as long as the fuses are good, then you either have a problem with a splaice that would effect ALL brake lights, or a turn signal switch if only the left and right lights dotn work- but the high mount works.
The other problems dont sound related, unless you do not have any power to several fuses because of a bad ignition switch or harness or fuse box problem.
Fan problem is usually a resistor.

Just to let everybody know my 2002 grandprix brake lights not working turned out to be turn signal switch was bad. wires for brakes on both sides of rear lights not high mount goes though turn signal. Had to pay 540.00 dollors to get fixed.

Ya, that's what I figured on.
Glad to hear you got it fixed.

Very common.
I think there was a bulletin or recall for these a few years back.
