Brake lights NOT working

Last night while parking i realized my brake lights were not working so today i checked the fuses, stop lamp switch and the bulbs, all are fine. The actual tail lights, turn signal, and reverse lights all work just no brake light when i step on the pedal.. Any ideas to the cause of the problem

There is a switch at the brake pedal that triggers the lights when the pedal moves, check to see if you can get continuity through it.

Edit: nevermind, didnt notice that you checked it

grab the FSM and chase wires.
a continuity tester will be a great help.
