    Relay and fuses on firewall under hood, usually somewhere on the upper drivers side by the windshield fluid reservoir.

    If you have a blown Fuse then you have a brake light wire that is shorting out somewhere.. check the wiring around your brake lights to see if there is some exposed wiring touching the frame... that is the best place to start...
    replace the fuse and see what happens

    The fuse is not blown it’s just not getting power

    Ok if it doesn't have power to the fuse then check the wiring going into the fuse block itself
