Default D1 Brake Lights Not Working

All three brake lights stopped working (Left, Rear, Cargo Door). I replaced my brake light switch last year and currently I can still shift out of park so I don't believe that is it. Checked all fuses and bulbs, everything looks fine. Any thoughts on how to get my brake lights working again?

Is your ignition switch on? It needs to be in position II before they will come on.

Yes the ignition switch is on and the car is running. It's almost acting like a fuse is blow since all three aren't working but all my fuses are good? Maybe a short or something

I know the brake lamp switch was replaced, but it still could be the issue.
If you don't want to replace it (they are cheap enough) then at least try to adjust/calibrate it.
Good Luck!

Do your rear running lights work? In other words, when you turn on your headlights, do the rear markers illuminate?

When you turn on your headlights, do the lights on the gauges (speedo, tach) illuminate?

Pages 212-214 on the Electrical manual, look to see if you have 12v on the Green/Purple wire on the brake switch connector with the ignition on, brake pedal pressed.
