could be the switch(under the pedal or near it), or fuse, check all the bulbs too. I had a similiar problem a while back and i had a bad bulb.

go under the dash unplug the switch where your brake pedal is and use a paper clip or wire n jump the connector, its a 4 wire connector, can't remember which two to jump but jump 2 n run back of your car n check for your brake light to see if it comes on.

Maybe a bad rear ground common to the brake lights and taillights.
