While working on an unrelated issue, I lost the brake lights.
Fuse on #9 is good, how does the brake pedal switch activate the stop lights ?
Need to know where to start……

They rarely fail.

Do you have power at fuse 9 ?

What wiring issue were you working on as it sound like it is related.

With ignition on, one of the wires at the switch should have power. I would first check for power at the brake light socket then the wire into the housing. I use a stick to depress and hold the pedal down if a helper is not available.

If all checks out there then move to the pedals.
