Brake Lights not working

My running lights, blinkers, hazards all work. All the fuses are working so I'm thinking it's the brake light switch. Any suggestions???

Check the stop light fuse first.

I did. Fuse 7 is good. Are there any other fuses that would could be bad?

Could be bad bulbs. Check for power at the sockets when the brakes are applied.

I replaced all the bulbs yesterday, still not working. I'm going to pick up a stop light switch today. Hopefully the problem will be fixed.

Sounds like you narrowed it down to the switch.

I changed the brake light switch and the brake lights work again. It took about 7 minutes and it was extremely easy. The best part is, the switch was only $15 from the stealership.
