Default Brake lights not working

I have a'93 coupe and the brake lights aren't working. the tail lights are fine. I changed the switches but the still don't work. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? It's pretty aggrevating under the dash.

Make sure you changed the right switch. There are two, which look similar, attached to the brake pedal. One is for the brake lights and the other for the cruise control.

Do a search for "brake lights". There's lots of info. I recently had to fix my 3rd brake light to pass state inspection and found all the info I needed on the forum.

I just noticed that the hazard lights aren't working either, but both turn signals do, what do you think?
