Default brake light problems

I got a 2001 that dosen't have brake lights on the rear of the car. The one in the window in the back of the car works but the other two don't. I had someone tell me that it could be the brake pedal switch that is bad. I was just wodering what any of you thought and how hard would this job be to change it myself.

I would rule out the switch since the 3rd brake light works. Start with the bulbs as they are the easiest (and cheapest) to replace.

i tried all the easy stuff first. the fuse was good and i went out and bought new bulbs i that didn't take care of it. is there another fuse for the brake lights besides the one on the driver side in that panel. if not is there a place online that i can get step by step instructions to change that brake light switch. i know a manual would be the best thing but last time i was looking for one for a newer model car i couldn't find one.
