need help hot wiring brake/turn lights

Well you need a diagram and or service manual. What are we working on?

You can down load free factory manuals here

and some of the same and more here:

Also on the MyMopar page here, you can download non factory somewhat simplified wiring diagrams. These are sometimes incorrect, simplified, and don't always show all connectors and or options, but they CAN sometimes be easier to follow:

However, it "might be" (probably is) that your wiring is somewhat chopped up. If so, it's anybody's guess. You CAN however, go right to major points, that is, go to the brake light switch, see if it has power. Depending on the year, there is a couple of things going INTO the column TS switch

brake light switch the switched side

power coming from the main TS flasher

These wires are likely to be original colors, even if chopped up, so you can check things there
