Maybe the owner before you liked doing burnouts so much he didn't bother to put the brake light fuse back in?

check your brake light switch located near your brake pedal lever.

well.. found the problem.. or better yet i took it to the dealer because i couldnt.. and.. its the magic 3rd! fuse box BEHIND the battery way back and down in this hole under neath all that plastic.. yeah i didnt know it was there... anyway.. fuses down there control like.. everything.. so remember this if you lose any electronics and all your other fuses are good.
