    Check the 20 Amp fuse #1 in the instrument panel fuse box marked Stop/Haz if it is good the orange wire at the stop light switch should have 12volts (use a volt meter or test light). Press the brake light switch if it adjusted right when the pedal is pressed the white wire becomes live and brings power out to the rear brake lights.
