You should have power at the pink with Dk blue wire at the switch.
If you don't have power there, then use a testlight to test every fuse both under the dash and in the engine compartment.

On the money as usual Hammer!
I'm not so good at Mopars but there was a whole bunch of Fords where they didn't use enough wire to the swtich and the wires would pull out if and when pedal went low for any reason - even normal range brake wear?? Worth a check,

The fuse you’re looking for is in the under hood power distribution centre, near the battery.
The brake light fuse is in passion #4, a 20 amp fuse.
Like what Hammer time said check it with a test light; making sure the light will light on both sides of the fuse.
Also check the fuse for power with the brakes applied. I have had connection problems inside these distribution centers; that the circuit will go open (no connection) when there’s a load applied.

Thanks to Hammer Time, I was able to trace the correct wire back to the fuse box and even though the fuse looked good, it did not have continuity. I replaced the fuse and the problem was fixed. So thanks again. Larry
