No brake lights! Problem solved!
Well, I noticed last night when I backed up in front of a window that I didn't have any brake lights!!! God knows how long I've been driving like this and I'm thankful I never got rear ended. I checked all my fuses and they all looked to be fine.
After doing a little research I found out that my brake light switch was done/broken/burnt. I'm righting this just in case it happens to someone and it might help them out. It's located just above the brake the pedal and it cost me $20 to fix. All you have to do is disconect the plug, give it half a turn and pull ou the switch and install the new one. It took me 2 minutes.

Here is a couple of useful links I got my information from. (hope I can do this)

Hope this helps someone in the future! I sure feel safer with brake lights working now.

i hate that stupid thing. it broke on me 2wice. at the dealer the first time it cost me $7 2nd time i went it was $12???? wth? anyways yeah its easy 2 replace, just make it where as soon as u tap the pedal the lights come on. also this unlocks the automatic cars shift from park. they shouda made the check tail lamps light in the dash for a warning.

I really wish it would indicate something somewhere, I only caught it by luck. If I would of got rear ended it could of been my fault. I guess I'll keep an eye on it from now on, I'll check my brake lights every other month or so.
