Hello,

If none of the brake lights will illuminate and you have already verified the fuse are good. The next item to check is the brake light switch. It is a switch that goes under you brake pedal. When you depress the brake pedal, the switch gets pressed and make the brake lights come on.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
