You have to remove the plastic trim panel that covers the upper part of the rear hatch. This can be done by gently using a flat head screwdriver to pry up a corner and then carefully pull up as you move across the panel. This will expose the light assembly and you can then access the bulbs. Then you just line up the clips with the corresponding holes in the hatch, and pop the cover back on.
To replace the brake light on a 2001 Dodge Durango the light lens must be removed. It is held on by a clip on one side and a hinge on another. It opens like a door to access the brake light housing.

The brake light switch, on a Dodge neon, can be found under the dashboard just below the steering column. The brake light switch just unplugs. Unplug the switch and replace with a new one.
I would guess that both of your brake light bulbs are burned out, and only the high mount bulbs are still working.
The fuses on the 2000 Dodge Durango should be labeled for each part such as the tail lights. The tail light fuse is a 30 A.
open the trunk and there should be a couple screws where the lights are.
From behind the light bezel (under the truck) quarter turn and remove the lamp holder. Replace with an "893" type bulb
