1998 Chevy S-10 Brake lights arn't working

Brakes problem
1998 Chevy S-10 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 164000 miles

My brake lights don't work. The hazards, turn signals, and parking lights work but don't light up when i press the brake pedal. The fuses are good, the bulbs are good, and i replace the brake light switch. Still nothing. Is it a problem with the wiring and so how would i go about fixing that?

Did you adjust the brake light switch when installing? Check for power getting back to the rear brake light bulb. Maybe a pinched wire along the line. If all else fails replace the bulb with the correct part #. If the wrong one is put in, it may not be the dual filiament that is required.
