Question Codes P0572 and C1000

I have 2010 Chrysler Sebring Limited.
Few days ago the Engine Check light came on.
I ran the test with Autel MaxiDiag ELite tester and 2 codes showed up:
1) P0572 -Brake Switch 1 Stuck On
2) C1000 - Brake Pedal Switch 1 Circuit Performance

I've looked up on P0572 Chrysler Brake Switch 1 Stuck On OBDII Engine Light Trouble Code | Engine-Codes.com
and it came with 4 possible causes:
- Faulty Brake Switch
- Misadjusted brake switch
- Brake Switch harness is open or shorted
- Brake Switch circuit poor electrical connection

I wonder if anyone know what the C1000 means?

I've checked the brake lights, it appears that the right side brake light works but the left side and the middle brake lights do not work.
I took apart the brake switch and checked all the contacts. All the contacts are clean and in good shape.
Now I am puzzled, what else can be checked?

Check the grounds for the lights that aren't working. If you can find where the ground wire is screwed to the body, loosen the screw, wiggle the wire and re-tighten.

I bought the brake switch and replaced it. Same thing , 2 out of 3 lights do not work.
can you give me some clue as to where to look for that grounding connection ?

There should be a black wire coming out of each light fixture. Trace it to where it grounds on the body. Typically, because copper wire is expensive, the wires are fairly short.

just to update, the bulbs were burnt out. I replaced these same bulbs last year. So now I replaced them again. Will monitor to see what is going on.
