Default Brake Light Help

Hi, all three of my rear brake lights have stopped working. I was attempting to wire in some auxiliary brake lights into the rear hatch light, and I pressed the brake and they came on, but one of my wires accidentally touched both the black and green wires that go to the hatch light. This immediately caused all three brake lights to go out. The lights still come on dimly with the headlights as they should, but they do nothing when the brake pedal is pressed. I already replaced the brake light switch, and that didn't fix it. I'm assuming that I blew a fuse, but I can't find where the fuse for the brake lights is located. Any help is appreciated!

Having a similar problem, what fuse did it end up being? Far as I can tell there is only one for brake lights and it's also connected to blower and some other stuff and mine is good.

Any help would be appreciated
