It has been my personal experience with my own 1997 Cadillac Catera that the "fuse box" for the brake lights is actually the "fuse panel" located beneath an easily removable panel under the steering wheel. Please note: if your brake lights/tail lights are not working and it doesn't appear to be a fuse, there is a switch that might need to be replaced that is located under the fuse panel also and a mechanic could take 5 minutes to look and let you know if this is the case. I paid approximately $40 one year ago for the part and $70 total installed. If you want to do it yourself, it's not hard, I just didn't want to climb under the steering wheel. Also, another tell tale sign that it's the switch (can't remember proper name) going out is that sometimes you have brake/taillights and sometimes not. Good Luck!
Bad brake light switch

It depends. You may need a new Brake harness. It's an electrical problem you have ti get it looked at.

How do you replace brake lights
at the top behind brake pedal, don't remove the lower switch it for the cruise control
Check to make sure you have power at the brake light switch, if you have power at the switch, depress the brake pedal, and check for power out of the switch, if no power out with the brake pedal depressed, you need a new brake pedal switch.
