Default Brake lights not working

Checked the fuses and they're all good. Any other ideas for what might be wrong?

All of them are out. Probably the switch then? Is there a test to see if it's bad?

U can use a test light. Or if u have a friend with a sc u can swap out a known good part.

To use the test light probe the switch to check for power coming in. Should b hot all the time. The hold the brake and prob the other wire/wires (haven't looked at the switch) and power should be coming from the switch if it is good
