Both brake lights have stopped functioning. From checking the Owners Guide I don't think it is a fuse because the turn signals, 4-way warning lights, and all marker lights are on the same fuse. It seems strange that both brake kights bulbs would fail at the same time.

Start by checking Stop light fuse 20A inside the fuse box by driver side. Is the third brake light (high mount stop light - the one inside the rear window) working?

If it doesn't, you may have a defective stop light switch.
