First check the 7.5A "gauge" fuse. If that is OK prop the brake pedal with a stick and go to the Light failure sensor. Check for power coming in on the green/white wire and going back out on the green/red wire.

There is a brake light control module near the back seat that goes out in that model. You can open it up and fix the burned circuit broad with a small amount of solider or just replace the unit.
