Default brakes don't brighten

I replaced the bulbs and brake light switch and still nothing. The only thing working is the top rear light(top of rear window) goes on when brake pedal is pushed. Is there a fuse and if there is where is it?

fuse is probably in the door jam of the drivers door, the fuses are numbered and labeled in the door panel that pulls off,

if its not there check the power distribution block under the hood, it is also labelled for ya

Did you replace with the right bulbs? The brake bulbs have two filaments.One for regular headlights/night driving and teh other for braking. Just asking.

I looked in schematics for a 2002 and everything I see you need to replace the combination flasher.
