Often times, it is a simple fuse issue. Locate you fuse box and replace the fuse that operates your brake lights. If that doesn't work, trace the line.

There are a few things that could cause this problem: your truck has a fuse that needs to be replaced, the bulbs need to be replaced or it could be a shorted or loose wire. I would start by having these checked out first as they are inexpensive and relatively easy to repair.
