Answer
Hello Moises, The next thing to test is the brake light switch, this is under the dash and works off the brake pedal. You need to test for power coming out of the switch when you step on the brake pedal. If you have power then you need to trace it down to see where the open is in the circuit, could be the turn signal switch. You might want to try turning the 4 ways on and off to see if the brake lights work after that!! Sometimes this will make  them work.

Sorry I can't help more on this one!!
