Check your fuse(s), if OK then the turn signal switch is probably at fault as the brake light circuit runs through the turn signal switch as well.

Bluelightnin6, thank you for your reply.I was wondering if that answer would still apply even though my blinkers are working fine. And, the fuses have been checked and are fine as well. Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes it would still apply, the internal circuitry of the turn signal switch that runs the brake lights may have failed, which would render the brake lights inoperative yet keep the signal lights working properly
