Check fuses. Check the bulbs for the hell of it.

well i checked the bulbs they are fine, and when you say fuses i really dont know how to mess with that what i really mean to say is i dont know what fuse am i looking for.

Dude, its a fuse. Thats happened to me about 10 times.
I really dont remeber what fuse it is, but i found it really easilly. Just look in the fuse box under the hood, and the one under the dash. Look for a burned fuse.

ok, i'll see how it goes.

if all else fails try the little boxes in the taillights themselves they get corroded
I cleaned mine off and all ever since they all work

How about checking the brake switch. Look under the dash and above the brake pedal you will see a gold colored cylinder looking thing with a black little piece of plastic on on end and a connector on the other, That is the brake switch. When it goes bad the brake lights wont work.

If you blew a bulb the "brake light" indicator in the cluster will light up to tell you the bulbs are gone.
