After working on the tailpan, tailgate and bed floor. I thought everything was fine. I took the K5 out Sunday and realize I had no brake lights. I don't know **** about electrical especially vehicle electrical. I haven't had a chance to look at the fuse or the fuse box. Is there a diagram showing which fuse controls the brake lights? Any advice?
 
Since you said you were working on the body in the rear, I immediately think of grounds. I'd check those first if you've been painting. Maybe you didn't get a solid ground.
 
Check the wires that run in front of the rear bumper.

I once took my gas tank out, and upon tightening the straps up for the new tank, the bolt cut into one of the wires for the lights.

I had no lights nor tailgate all the way home from wheeling.
