Break Lights/Fuse Dilemma

[machinefish]

06' Mazda5 Sport Brake Lights aren't working!
This may seem elementary but I've looked at all of my small fuses and the fuse box legend and I can't figure out which fuse to replace. Except for the larger fuses which I can't see through. My tail lights are fine, my back up light is fine, my hazard lights are ok and the bulbs work ok! Both brake lights on the rear sides and the brake light on the top of the rear window stopped working at the same time. Someone please help!
Thanks!

sounds like a brake switch problem.... this is a switch on the top end of your brake pedal which activates your lights on application... if not then you have a triple light burn out...seen it before.

Thanks for the fast reply! I just got back from AutoZone and that is what I narrowed it down to...the brake switch. Of course, they don't have any. Triple light burnout? Hmmm, they look fine up close with a fine toothed flash light! Also, 2 of the bulbs are duel purpose Brake Light/Tail Light and Tail side is fine. I wish I lived in a big city near a Mazda dealer....Argh!

Tail/Brake Lamps are dual filiament bulbs...hence brighter when you put on the break.
