Brake lights and hazards not working! Help

You can jumper it rather than replace it to test. If there is truly voltage on both sides of the BL switch that should power the brake lights. Most common problems of this sort are in the hazard switch, I'd assume contacts in the switch walking around.

Make a table of your TS switch colors so you know what they should do and when. You could also jumper 12V to the white brake switch wire, and with hazards off and TS switch centered, that SHOULD power the brake lights for test.

So I did run a jumper wire on the brake switch white wire. This is what is happening that puts my brain in a pretzel.. it’s difficult to even explain but if I run twelve volts directly to the white wire the voyage gets canceled out. Call me crazy but when I run 12 volts to the tab with the white wire, I test it with my probe and I get .04 volts on the tab with white wire connected. But as soon as I remove the wire the tab shows 12 volts! What am I missing?
