Brake lights aren't working

Checked the switch with a fluke meter, seems ok. Checked the lights, fuse is good. Any ideas?

Thanks

see if the ground screw on the d-side of the trunk has come loose.

Ok I'll check that.

Ground is good.

Are you getting voltage to the sockets when the brake pedal is pushed? No, I don't mean do the lights light up. Do you have 12 volts back there?

Check the grounds in the sockets too. Those tend to go bad.

i dont even have 12v at the plug on the switch itself

Broken wire between the fuse and brake switch plug.

I know you said the fuse was good but, is even power at the fuse box?
