Break job & an alignment, have nothing to do with the functionality of the brake lights.
Could just be a coincidence. Have you checked your fuses? Checked the bulbs themselves?

check by your brake pedal switch. the switch that doesnt have a vacuum hose to it, press it manually. i had a room mate that paid a shop to fix it. all they did was charge 50 bucks and used a ziptie that eventually left the lights on, all the time. of coarse i fixed it. i just used another ziptie. haha it was a blazer, he was broke.

The dangling white thing is the brake switch. I presume it's likely the same for yours. It will be in a bracket in front of the brake pedal. When apply the brake in it will release the switch. Pretty simple. Just make sure the switch is working properly.

I replaced the fuse and it worked the first time, but then the fuse blew. It did it with 2 other fuses too. What could be causing this? Thanks for the help, guys.
