Default HELP! I have no brake lights

The title says it all, but here's what's what.

I have a 99 cherokee sport and I have no brake lights at all. And I have checked every fuse inside the jeep under the passenger dash.

Please help.

Not the bulbs...
Not the fuses...

Perhaps the brake switch?

Try replacing the headlight switch itself. Here is a great how to link:

All your lights are powered through the switch.
I had a similar problem. I replaced my switch and spliced in a new harness pig tail. My switch and connector were melted and crumbled when I separated the two pieces.
I got a new harness from an Auto Electric Specialist shop. The Dodge/Jeep dealer was clueless in helping me get a new harness or pig tail.
