Generally pink is hot "in" and white is output. Just remember "hot pink" . pull apart the ts/brake harness electrical connector coming out of the steering col and the "white" in not the col half but the other half will be hot w the brake pedal depressed (this is the other end of the previous "white" wire. If good there w your VOM see if you have continuity on the other (the column) half of the connector for this white wire (it may "most likely does" continue on as white but check the colors in the wiring diagrams at www.mymopar.com to find out) and there's 2 wires in that same col connector half which will be the 2 out wires to each brake filament and will be hot w the TS stalk in the neutral middle position and the brake depressed. If so continue downstream toward the rear starting at the pull apart connector in I believe the drivers kick panel & if hot there (brake depressed) then there is one or 2 more pull apart connectors going toward the rear. W both lights out it most likely is an input prob rather than a ground since less likely that both sides would lose their ground at the same time and I forgot in your post if the flashers are good but if they are then the brake lite grounds are good also.

Ronnie the brake sw is just an non polarized on/off switch so the 2 female plugs can go on either side of it though I like to keep it oe just as a good practice. See if there's fire at the white wire downstream at the col harness w pedal depressed then see if the 2 brake wires have fire coming out of the col harness (circuit tester w long thin needle tip works good to access the wires inside the pull apart connector while each half is still connectted) to see if there's fire

If the white wire is hot (unplugged) then it is a different situation than the normal "open" issue. Something is wired wrong and is feeding the white wire backwards. has there been any recent wiring work done? I think I'd start by pulling apart the col TS harness and check continuities since TS switch assy's act up often. Holler back when you discover anything.

I would continue to trace the white wire downstream as it should not be hot and it is being fed improperly plus the brake lites are dead even w it being hot. good luck and holler back anytime
