All three brake lights are not working. Fuse and bulbs appear to be good. Changed brake switch but that did not solve the problem.

What next?

I would start by making sure there is power at fuse #19 and #10. Here is a guide and the fuse locations to get us started:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Thanks for the reply. After further investigation and reading posts from others I discovered it was a bulb problem. Was very surprised to find that all three bulbs were burned out.
Don't know if they all went at once or over a period of time. The lack of brake lights was brought to my attention by a person driving behind me who took the time at a stop light to get out of his car and inform me of the problem. To him I say thank you!
