2007 Spartan no brake lights

Can't find a fuse for the brake light circuit. Is this the brake valve? Could the switches be bad? Bulbs are fine. Found fuses on driver side front of tire.

I can’t tell you how many times on my Revolution I’ve had to clean the bulb socket from corrosion.

X2 and you won't believe what I finally did about it for the most part anyway.
Removed the bulb and loosely stuffed 3 of these .... https://www.ebay.com/itm/18508418948...MAAOSwslZhWI7J
in each lenses for the tail lights and 4 each in the brake lights. Twisted the leads together and put them under the connectors and for keeping the polarity for these LED's. If you want them brighter, double them up with another set, as there's plenty of room in there. I'm even thinking of adding some red ones to the mix.

There are relays located below all on the blinker and brake light fuses on my 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire on a Spartan Mountain Master chassis.

I had to pull the relays and clean the contacts to fix intermittent issues.

On my Tiffin, there was a plug where the two tail lights plug into the wiring harness. I had some issues where there was a loss of ground that was causing issues actually dumping my tag. Noticed tail lights were dim. Cleaned up the connectors and problem went away. Might suggest to look there also. I know sounds crazy, but the Spartan tech support guy pointed me there as a known issue.

Yeah those links come and go with the sellers, but any of these will work.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/23463072530...Bk9SR-KDt7HdYA
Just don't forget to choose the amount and color. Speaking of color, I've since added a few more in red and they do look good but can't say without some experimentation if they should all be red and since the OEM bulb is white. They are cheap enough for making up more than one set and easy enough for making them plug and play without modification of the original.
Now do keep in mind that they don't light up the whole lens like before, but for seeing a swirl of all these LED lights in there. Obviously different but for looking pretty cool to some eyes. One thing is for sure and as long as you have power back there, they won't ever all go out.
