Brake lights won't come on. Tail lights come on all turn signals work hazards work. I am assuming fuses are good cause all the other lights work.

Check brake light switch and t/s switch may not be sending power to brakes.

You have to pull the steering wheel and need a special tool to get to t/s switch. But check it first. Check white wire to see if power is going in and dk/grn and yellow to see if it's going out if it does it's not the t/s switch then check dk/rn and yellow wires at rear to see if power is going there. If it is then check blk wire for ground it could also be a bad socket
