check your fuse(s) , if OK then the turn signal switch is probably at fault as the brake light circuit runs through the turn signal switch as well.

yes it would still apply, the internal circuitry of the turn signal switch that runs the brake lights may have failed, which would render the brake lights inoperative yet keep the signal lights working properly
