I have a 2009 XC90. Dash said "Check Stop Lamps" and both brake lights were out. The center LED bar is working just fine. Tail lights are also working, just no brake lights. Changed out both bulbs, no luck. Checked fuse in cargo compartment and fuse looks good. I read some conflicting posts that it could be a relay, and that there is no brake light relay in post-2007 models.

So, what is the next step? Is there another fuse that I'm missing, or a relay that I can replace?

Definitely wanting to avoid the dealership, if possible - as that's really the only place in this area (Kansas City) that doesn't cringe at the sight of a Volvo. Haha!

Thought there was a relay but there's not, wiring diagram shows power for lower brake lights comes directly out of REM terminal B3, center high mounted light out of F4.

Always do a battery disconnect cycle when the electronic gremlins come out to play. Can't hurt.
