Bulbs are good, fuse is good, no power at the brake switch. Pulled power from the battery direct to the switch wiring and still no lights. Can anyone email a wiring diagram? Ground is ok as I do have turn signals which are same filament/ wiring at sockets. On another note, first run of the season and it goes like all get out!!! cingeled_out@yahoo.com  Thanks  USSDODGE

You should have 2 wires at brake switch...did you connect battery power to each wire or just one? Try putting power to both wires, not at the same time and look at rear lights to see if they come on with what wire?

power comes from a fuse directly to brake switch at pedal assembly through a PINK wire ( is constant )... then runs thought the WHITE wire up to column when press the pedal, and with turning switch in REST position must get powered the dark brown and dark green wires coming out from turning switch. Arrives up to driver side kick panel area on a plug what links the harness up to rear, then the housings. Dark green lighst on one side, Dark brown lights on the other side

make the voltage test on every one fo those to locate where is being lost the power

Yea..I couldn't remember which wire had 12v power all the time..the white or pink one

If he puts 12v power to the white one at the brake switch, he should have brake lights...he said he has turn signals, which means all wires & connections are good from switch to rear.....so problem would either be brake switch or power to it

power to turning doesn't mean power to brakes is good, just its wire from them.

Remember the turning switch is a "matrix". Maybe the white wire it could be even powered up to turning switch, but internally the link to rear bulbs is cut somehow when turning switch is in rest position, example, white wire point broken inside.
