Check for a blown brake light fuse.

you may have to disconnect the cruse control switch on the proporting valve that fails due to brake fluid that shorts out and will continue to blow the fuse. its in a tight spot under the car driver side. if you have to move the car turn key forward but don't start put in neutral then start just remember you will not have stop lights! hope it helps

Did you check to see if one of them popped again? If so, you have a short in one of the circuits that must be located and repaired.
