My brake lights (tail or 3rd) are not working on my 94 Ranger. Have replaced all 3 bulbs and checked all the fuses under the dash. The fuses all appear ok and test ok. I bought the truck used and do not have a diagram of the fuse box to know which one exactly is the brake light fuse. Tail lights, turn signals, back ups all work. Is there another fuse somewhere? Thanks.

No, didn't know there was such a beast. Is it right at the pedal?

Just for kicks, where is the fuse for the brake lights. Might as well check that a third time while I am in there!

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
On a '94 it's the blue 15A fuse #10, with is lower left of the flasher. If there's no power there (your domelight will be out, too), check the 40A fuse #2 in the underhood distribution box. Check your power going into the switch on the Lt Green/Red, and then for power coming out, pedal pushed, on the Lt Green wire. You got power coming out, then you have an open circuit between the switch and lights.
