If you have a test light I'd check the fuses to the BCM in the fuse block at the left side of instrument panel, I believe there are 3 or 4 of them. If they test good you can remove the rear panel over the tail lights in the trunk and remove and check the bulbs, would be unlikely that both would burn out at the same time, but I have seen that before.
Also inspect all connectors in truck to the lights, maybe something has been sliding around in trunk damaging one?
Other than that the brake lights do not have a separate fuse they are directly controlled by the body control module. Hope this helps.

3RD brake light is a separate circuit than the tails. You "can" splice into the
3rd brake light, and run a lead to the tail brake lights as a temporary fix. Diode
isolate the existing leads to the tails from the car side.

Aren't you getting a brake light out warning on the dashboard?

Check bulbs �� maybe blown! Check to see if they are dark

Mine has a lamp out warning if one of the bulb hi filaments do not work
for signal or brake. Are you getting that message on the display?
