I have no brake pedal lights. I have turn signal in the front and rear along with running lights. I have power to the brake switch and power from the switch with pedal applied to the white wire feed to column connector if i disconnect the pin connector to column. If i reconnect it i Have no power on white when i apply brakes. I also have no hazards with button pulled to apply hazards. I was told could be a bad signal switch?

Everything goes through the TS switch , pink to the brake switch , white up the column to the switch , then 4 wires out to the 4 corner lights the brake lights should activate the 2 wires at the rear & interupt with signals , , 2 wires for each turn signal L&R , and all 4 wires with hazard lights .
If you short the 2 wires at the brake switch the white wire up the column should be powered

Sounds like the actual brake pedal switch might be bad.
Of course check the obvious first and if there is power there. Then check for power through the brake switch.

Then I would check here next.

This diagram is an in general diagram for pin out connection. Not for wire color code. Don not follow. Could be GM Ford or other.

I just replaced the TS switch. Had multiple gremlins in the system, bad dimmer switch, bad wiper switch, etc. Now, everything works as it should, however, it's dependent on the hazard switch being in the right position. If it's too far in, the turn signal light comes on, if it's too far out, the brake lights don't work, even though hazards aren't on.

It might be a bad TS switch, I assume??????

OK! I seen you post on an other thread. Wipe the slate clean and lets stay here. There are other that know the problem too.
Forget about the turn signal sw for now. There might be other gremlins as you said, lets dived and conquer. As others ask. 1 Do you have power at the brake sw. 2 If so do you have power thought the brake sw. Answer 1 and 2 yes or no. Be sure you have a good ground when testing.

Look at the colored diagram I posted. Unplug the connector under the column.
Everything goes through the TS switch , pink to the brake switch , white up the column to the switch , then 4 wires out to the 4 corner lights the brake lights should activate the 2 wires at the rear & interupt with signals , , 2 wires for each turn signal L&R , and all 4 wires with hazard lights .

Check if you have power to the EMG Flasher and Turn signal Flasher. Use one of those powers to jump to each connector. You may see a small arc. The horn needs ground .touch to ground.You will here it. Then touch to each connector as someone watches would be a help. This way you will know if everything else is in order.
