Default Brake lights not working

All of a sudden none of my brake lights are working! The left, right, and the the third do not work at all. Reverse lights and turn signals work but no brakes? Is this a fuse? If so which one should I be checking? I feel that it would be very unusual for them all to burn out.

check to owners manual for fuse number. almost assuredly a fuse. turn signals working means the bulbs are fine (pretty sure theyre the same). let us know how it goes.

According to the owner's manual, it is fuse # 2 in the interior fuse box. The owner's manual is terrible in explaining where the fuse box actually is. It is actually located where your right leg would be if you were sitting in the passenger seat. There is a little tab to stick your fingers in and you pull to take the cover off. I pulled the fuse and it didn't seem to be blown. Plugged it back in and wholla the light work again. We'll see how long this lasts.

You may want to clean the fuse and it's socket with an emery board or sandpaper to insure it's got a good clean connection so it doesn't go out again..
