I highlighted a sentence in your post.. That statement absolutely proves the wiring, switch, bulbs, and fuse are all working as they should.. No need for any more testing.. If you adjusted the brake light switch, your procedure was flawed.. Consult the 1971 Factory Service Manual, section 12, page 3 for the proper procedure..
