Actually it is possible for all the brake light bulbs to be burnt out, especially if you haven't checked in a while. The same bulb does the brake lights and tail lights but there are two independent filaments in the bulb so one can be burnt out. After ruling out the bulbs, find the brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal assembly and unplug it. If you jumper the wires in the plug the brake lights should come on.
