Most likely the hazard light switch on the dash common issue related to no brake lights

Besides the multi function switch, there is at switch on the brake pedal.
A quick check is to use your cruise control and see if it disengages when you apply the brakes.

any LED's? I had no brake lights due to sequential turn signals. Installed Hyper-flash harness.
No more problems.
