Does the highmount brake lite work? If none work, check voltage to and from the brake switch. Brake switch is activated by the brake pedal arm. Red wire with black tracer is voltage to brake switch, hot all the time, use voltage tester to check. White wire with tan tracer goes hot when the brake switch is activated, carries voltage to brake lites.
