First off ty for your response I really appreciate it. Ya I'm getting power to the brake switch and I went ahead and changed out the switch bc it was in bad shape. Still no brake lights. Where would I find the turn switch or 4 way?

So I did everything you recommend but nothing. I got power going to the switch and literary the only thing that doesn't work is my breaks. Is there a way I could send you a picture of under my steering wheel.

I just went through all this aggravation after replacing fuses, switch and multifunction switch and it ended up being the dark green wire out of fuse 41 that feeds the multifunctional switch being broken, bypassed the harness now works fine.
