This happened to my 1985 Lebaron Conv and all the car needs is a new brake light switch mounted on the brake pedal under the dash. Problem solved!
Taking your foot off the brake pedal...?
brake switch ???
fuse, bulbs
Most likely no brake lights would be due to a faulty switch on the brake pedal or a bad fuse.

Blown fuse or bad brake light switch?
Brake light switch stuck or out of adjustment. It is either located on the brake pedal somewhere or it may be a pressure switch located on or near the master cylinder.
brake light switch would be most common cause
check the fuse for the brake lights, they have thier own. also check the brake light switch at the at the top of the brake petal
The BOO (Brake On/Off) Switch may need to be replaced. If it is bad, it would cause the brake lights to NOT illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.
BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AT TOP OF BRAKE PEDAL
There may be a cut in the wire(s). You will need a Digital Volt Meter to test the wire(s) at your brake light. There is a switch that is actuated when you apply pressure to the brake pedal. If the switch is malfunctioning your lights won't come on.
