Brake lights don't work!

At the oil change place they found my brake lights didn't work. Replaced one bulb that was burned out, no help. Taillights work. Could it be a fuse?

A date of manufacture would be helpful.

I'd start by checking voltage at the bulb socket. It's more than likely the brake light switch or a bad connection somewhere. This is one of those things where you'll needed to do some testing to narrow down the issue. This is hard to do thru the interweb.
