started out by checking the bulbs,then brake switch. There is no power at the brake switch. Used a test light with the key switch in the on position and nothing. Checked the fuses and found a couple of 20amp the were blown and replaced,but still nothing.Also checked connector under the drivers side near frame. Need Help!

-No power at the brake switch-check the fuse that powers the stoplamps
