Default brake light

I have an 02 Z06 and my 4 brakelights don't turn on my E lights work and my regular back lights turn on. The small little light in the middle works but the 4 brakelights are bad. Any idea what that might be I tried fuse #8 but didnt seem to help any other fuse u guys know about

There is a diagnostic check that you can perform: "Stop Lamps Inoperative - CHMSL Operates" It is in the service manual under section 8 - Lighting. It will step you through the troubleshooting; most likely, you have a poor/intermittent connection or an open somewhere in one of the circuits. If your CHMSL is operative, I would probably rule out the brake lamp switch.
