If all brake lights stopped working at the same time (and you checked all fuses) it is most likely the switch behind the brake pedal arm.

Easy fix usually.
Remove a bulb, check for power when pedal pressed. If power...change bulbs.
If no power at bulb, check switch. It is easily removed and check for continuity when little button pressed.

If it is neither of those, you may need help fixing it.

+1. If all 3 brake lights dont work, its either a relay or the switch behind the pedal. Most of the time its the switch. Easy fix just a PITA working under dash.
