Brake lite power comes from the brake lite fuse in the fuse box via a pink wire to the (pic) brake lite pedal switch & it is hot all the time (think hot pink). The "out" white wire which is hot when the pedal is depressed goes to the TS column harness. With the stalk in nuetral 2 "out" wires to the L/R rear brake lites are hot when the white "in" wire is hot with pedal depressed. Your wiring looks altered. Seperate the TS/brake column harness & see if the white wire and the 2 out wires in the col half of the connector have continuity with the stalk in nuetral/hazards off (they should). See if the white "in" wire on the body half of the col connector is hot when pedal is depressed. Jump fire to the 2 wires in the body half of the connector that go downstream & see if the L/R brake lights light up. You want the hot in wire (which should be pink) at the pedal switch to be hot all the time & see what's up with your colors. Holler back. EDIT The 2 cojoined wires, one is hot in from the fuse box and the other powers the dome lights (hot all the time) & both were pink (OE). The single wire that you are inquiring about is the switched 12V going downstream to the column TS/brake harness & to/thru/out the TS switch (where 2 wires are energized at same time for R/L brake lights) then to the dr kick panel harness then rearward to the brake lights on each side. Not sure why your colors are different
