if you had no brakelights you have a problem, your brakelights should work all the time as long as the battery is connected.... like Devil said... most likeley VATS related...

Sounds like a fusible link. There are 2; each feeds about half the stuff in the car; sounds like one of them blew.

There are a handful of points where battery goes in the interior; there's a feed to the ign sw; a feed to the headlight sw, a feed to teh fusebox, etc; each of those gets its power through one or another of the fusible links (basically, fuses). So when one blows, it takes out all of the circuits that derive their power from it.

They're down at the starter.

That's what I get for jumping the post. I hate caps. I'm with RB, if all those things have no power you fried either a link or maybe a fuse or two.
