It could be a blown fuse, a bad brake light switch, a bad turn signal switch or bad wiring. Check fuses first, brake lite switch is mounted on the top of the brake pedal you can check it and the other stuff with a test lite. Do you have a test lite?

    Tail lights work, brake lights don't. Can't seem to figure out why. Bulbs are good, but I'm not sure which fuses and relays pertain to brake lights.
