do they all not work including the one on top? if the one on top works then it's not the switch . check all fuses in under hood fuse block as several are for lights then check ground at lh rear of frame rail and left rear of body. This sounds like the brake light switch or a fuse is out these guides can help us fix it. The fuse location for your can are in the diagrams below.
