help wiring issue

All a sudden my brake controller and my brake lights dont work. All fuses are good. I had a new stereo installed few weeks back does any of the brake controller run through the stereo harness or is it something else

Have you checked in the power distribution box? That's what happened to my brake controller when I blew the 40 amp trailer fuse. It looked ok but was bad on closer look.

Looks don't work when checking fuses, break out the meter or better yet buy a cheap fuse tester from the autoparts that allows you to test fuses in place.
