The brake lights have nothing to do with that circuit.

There is a red/black wire coming down from the light switch. This wire should be hot (have 12volts+) on it when the light switch is on. If it does not then check to see if the White/green wire coming from the switch is hot. The White/green is coming from fuse # 6 in the interior fuse box. You will of course want to check that wire/fuse first.

If they both have power when the light switch is on, either all the bulbs are burnt out (very unlikely unless you have been jusmp started recently) or there are bad grounds to the bulbs (something got disconnected).

If the red/black never gets 12v on it no matter what position the switch is, then the switch is bad and needs to be fixed or replaced.
