Default Brake Lights Won't Light up

Brake lights won't light up when pressing the brake pedal. Checked all the fuses, also shorted out the switch, they still do not come on. So the switch and fuses are good, what else could it be? ALL 3 are not coming on, but they do light up when you turn on the headlights. 89 Civic.
