None of my brake lights are working. I have three but hazards, reverse and tail lights all work. We have checked the fuses, brake light switch and they are all fine. Just do not understand why all three brake lights are not working.

I do not have access to a wiring diagram, but I can offer some general hints. At the brake light switch, with the ignition switch off, check for twelve volts feeding at least one wire. If that is missing, we need to go back toward the fuses. If you have that, check for twelve volts on a second wire only after pushing the brake pedal.

If you have that twelve volts on the second wire, the suspect is the turn signal switch. This applies to any vehicle where the brake light bulbs are the same ones that are used for the turn signal function.
