My brake lights do not work. Checked fuses and lights already and they are all fine.

look at your fuses; one will have a break in the element if blown!
If not there, check for totally separate fuse; sometimes under the hood!

Hello
The problem here is very likely that the brake light failure sensor has failed, to verify that is the defective part you will need a 12 volt test light (about $5.00 from any auto parts store like Kragen). The failure sensor is located on the inside of the left tail lamp before you check it once again verify that fuse #9 in the drivers fuse panel is good, also verify the tail lights work. To continue testing the brake light sensor just peel back the trunk liner to expose the lamp sensor and find the YELLOW, WHITE/BLACK and GREEN wires, If they have power (TURNS ON THE 12 VOLT TEST LIGHT) with the third brake light (have a helper step on the brake while you do the testing) on but no power on the GREEN replace the Brake Light sensor. If you have power to the green wire the problem is inn the lamp housing or the ground but the same ground is used for the tail and license lamps so I doubt there is a problem there.

The problem is the socket. Remove the bulb and bend the tabs in the socket so they make contact with the bulb. If this doesn't work you will have to replace the socket. A wire is broke and they usually break at or in the plug.

I pulled te. Brake switch out, what do I do now?
How do I check if it is the brake light switch or something else?
jumper the wires that went to the switch
