If supplying alternative power to the brake light switch cures the problem, then the bulb out sensor is operating properly. The path of the circuit runs from fuse to switch to sensor.

When you say you are running a hot jumper to the switch, which side of the switch are you applying the power to - do the lights work when you step on the pedal, or do they just light up?

A test light works well here - use it to probe the "in" side of the plug at the brake switch with the pedal depressed. If no joy, then the problem is between the fuse and the switch.

I'm assuming that you checked/replaced the fuse.
