Hello,
It sounds like that you are either missing the 12V supply to the brake light switch or there is a possible wiring fault.
First check fuse 9, 5A, at fuse box in passenger compartment. I have included a link below.

If this fuse is in order then check the connector at the brake light switch.
Pin 1, red wire , is supplied 12V from the fuse box to the switch. This can be done by either using a test light or a multimeter. How to use these please see below.

Using the below illustration of the wiring diagram you can also test the 2 wires from the brake light switch going back to the fuse box. The red wire supplies 12V from pin 11 at connector B to brake light switch pin 1 and the signal from the brake light switch comes from pin 5 at switch, yellow/red wire, to pin 34 at connector C. How to test a wire please see below.

Please let us know how you get along.
