Is there a relay or another switch somewhere in the brake system? No brake lights even the third one above the rear window. Bulbs work on bench, newbrake switch under dash!! I'm not gettin it, what am I missing?

Hello It looks like fuse number 1 controls the brakes. Please check that with a meter. Sometimes just looking doesn't give you a good read. If that checks good then: If I understand you correctly you replaced the brake switch on the brake pedal support? If so, please make sure it is hooked up. You should have 12v to the orange wire I believe according to the wiring hot at all times coming into the switch. If that is good then turn on your hazard flashers - do they work? I have attached the wiring information.....let us know how this does.
