Default WTF? brake lights dont work anymore?

i dont know why but all of a sudden my brake lights stopped wprking? the turn signals,hazards,reverse lights work fine and the lights light up when i turn on the lights but when i step on the brakes no lights? its none of the fuses...and im not 100% sure but i dont think that if one light burns out they would all go out... would they?..i was also thinking about the switch on the pedal(if there is one i havnt looked yet)maybe its stuck or somthing? anyone know or have any clues as to what it might be?

well i checked every fuse and they are all good..so it has to be the brake switch..is it located on the upper part of the brake pedal or is it elsewhere? (ive only had to do this on a mazda before and i havnt looked at my car yet because snow is everywhere)
