1999 Camry Brake lights

I have a 99 Camry with no brake lights. I have:
Checked all the bulbs, no failures.
Replaced the brake light switch at the pedal
Replaced the ABS relay.
When replacing the ABS relay, the receptacle that takes the relay looked scorched and blackened where the prongs go in. Everything else in that block works fine. Is it possible that this one receptacle has shorted without that whole block being shorted? If so, I'm guessing I will have to replace the whole thing?
Also, if not, then what is my next move to get the brake lights working?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the loom of wires inside the trunk attached to the driver's side trunk hinge. Open up that loom and look for freyed or broken wires. Many times the wires inside there frey and break from all the flexing they are exposed to over the years, as the trunk is constantly opened and closed. Pay particular attention to the wire colors that lead to the break lights. Fix what you find.
