You have the packet of papers that came with the car telling you which fuse is which right? Check for volts on both sides of the fuse terminal for the brakes (at the connector, probing the wire won't find the bad crimp). From there, check for volts at every connector in that circuit, all the way back to the bulbs. Then, check the ground wire (for continuity to ground) for the tailamps, at the bulb end of the circuit. Somewhere in the circuit between the fusebox and the tailamps, the volts can't pass. Bad connection or broken wire.
Did you check the switch at the brake pedal arm with a test light or continuity tester? That's the most likely cause
You have an OPEN circuit. Somewhere there is a break in the conductance of the wire, probubly at a connector. It's a simple 12 volt DC circuit, electrical troubleshooting doesn't get any easier, (as if knowing that fact makes it easy).
