Only three major components in the brake light system: Fuse, Switch, bulb.

Fuse is in the main interior panel just above the hood release.

Switch is part of the pedal assembly under the dash.

At the bare minimum you will need a twelve volt test light or meter to check for voltage at each of these components. You should have power through the fuse to one side of the switch at all times. When the brake is depressed, the switch closes and 12V should appear on the other side of the switch as well. If both those checks are good, move to the build and look for twelve volts at the bulb when the pedal is depressed. If twelve volts appears on both sides of the bulb you have a broken ground wire. If no twelve volts is present you have a break in the harness from the switch to the bulb.
