Re: 2001 ford sports trac brake lights not working ,
This may be a simple fix, where the wheel jack or washer bottle is located in the back behind the panel, there should be connectors for the rear lights, it is possible that the plug has been dislodged, remove the panels and check the plug connections. Good luck.

Just had same issue with my 01 sport trac. Just purchased truck an never noticed until several days later had no tail lights. Brake light on cab worked not on bed. After days of head banging an scratching I realized when steering wheel was tilted up had lights down no lights tore into steering column was an easy easy fix. The clip tht holds harness in place on top of cold was broke an plug had slid out a bit so pushed it in good an tight zip tied it for temp fix vuala tail lights! Wanted to share so if anyone else has issue they didn't have to spend days scratching their head!
Power for the brake lights go thru the turn signal switch before getting to the light bulbs. Do you have power in and out of the brake light switch and the turn signal switch ?
There is a short in the steering column. Put the tilt steering all the way up. You may even have to push it up. This will close the short. Open the cover and you will see the wire has become loose in the harness.
must have a wiring problem use a meter to see if your getting power to wiring on rear lights if not broken wire somewhere along the line could run a wire from third light might solve t your problem
check the wiring to the rear sockets, including grounds then work your way forward, check the brake light switch then the signal light switch which i figure is bad but no sense replacing till you know everything else is good
