Default 2000 Ford explorer No brake lights

2000 Ford explorer with no brake lights. Not sure what fuse would control these lights as the fuse diagram seems vague. I checked fuse location 3 which shows fuse is for left stop/turn signal tow cause it was suggested.

I checked location 9 "brake pedal position switch" both were ok.
The next one was location 13 "Brake Pedal Position Switch,
Brake Pressure Switch" Which has no fuse in it so I'm not sure it's suppose to or not. Brake lights were working recently and I didnt remove any fuses.

Bulbs look ok, and since all 3 brake lights are out, I dont think thats the problem. checked one bulb with an ohmmeter and it was good.

Replaced the brake light switch on brake pedal and it didnt help.

Any input appreciated.

Do your hazard flashers work?
With the key on , set the turn signal switch to either a left or right turn and step on the brake . What result do you get?

If you look under the dash, just above the brake pedal, you should see a switch with wires on it. That should be the stoplite switch. check to see if the switch became unplugged.
