Default No brake lights

Check the brake light fuse at the fuse panel, if it is good, go to the
brake light switch. You should have power going in and when depressing on the brake it should be on both sides of switch. If you disconnect switch and it has power going in, jumper accross switch, go to the back and see if lights are on.

Also check to see if the switch is sticking, not uncommon.
