Rear brake lights

I have 04 F250 Crew Cab with a camper shell on the back. My problem is I have no brake lights at all. The brake light on the camper works fine but there is no brake lights on the truck or the trailer. Running lights, turn signals and reverse lights all work fine. I have looked for a fuse for the brake light system but I am unable to find one. Any ideas on what to do next would be great.

Id check as to how they spliced the topper wiring into the truck harness. Maybe the brake light wire they tapped into somehow didnt get hooked up 100% right, and its only sending power to the topper, and not the brake lights. Id trace the wires down from the topper to the junction, and go from there.

Texascaddy has the right idea, check that first.

Do the hazard lights flash the rear brake lights?

When my cap was put on they tied into the trailer wiring harness. Check the fuse under the hood for the trailer brake lights.
