All lights working except brake lights - I know this has been covered before....but

[gonline71]

Before I begin, let me assure you all that I have searched/read/re-read every freaking post even remotely related to issues with brake lights to no avail. All my lights are working as expected except the brake lights.

I have confirmed the orange wire and the brake light switch has contant power.

I have confirmed the white has power when the brake pedal is depressed.

I have added "battery size" ground straps to the recommended locations.

I have started to feel like a complete idiot. I was able to rebuild the vent windows within an hour, but I cannot seem to get my brake lights working.

I am to the point of praying that one of you gurus can help.

Where would the best place be to check that beyond the brake light switch, the white wire is still carrying power? In the turn signal switch or within the rear wiring harness?

Thanks in advance
