When the Brake pedal is depressed it closes the switch and sends the 12v power to the turn signal / hazard switch which the distributes the signal depending on the TS Hazard switch position. First thing is to test the BL switch. Then follow the power through the column connector to the T/S switch. If the power is getting there next likely culprit is the T/S or hazard switch itself. Once you have verified the Brake switch power at the switch, you can jumper it to the brown and green wires which are the output to the high filaments or Brake lights. MAKE SURE THE T/S switch is in the CENTER POSITION AND THAT THE HAZARD switch is OFF

(1) pink wire (think hot pink) at brake pedal switch should be hot all the time & if it ain't then check brake light fuse (2) white "out" wire from pedal switch to dangling connector under column should be hot when pedal is depressed (the switch closes) (3) seperate the ts/brake dangling connector halves under the column & on the col half there should be continuity between the white "in" wire and the 2 "out" wires with the stalk in neutral. www.mymopar.com will have the colors but with your meter on ohms there should be continuity between the white wire and 2 others only. this'll confirm or deny that the TS switch assy/pigtail is functioning or not. EDIT always a good idea to pull a batt cable BEFORE switching the meter to ohms

If it has flashers then it has the grounds. Like stated before check the fuse and brake light switch. Could be the EM flasher switch. That switch interrupts the brake light circuit and transfers the brake lights to the EM flash circuit. Those switches do wear out. I just changed one on a 71 Charger a couple months ago and fixing to change one on a 67 Chevelle. Have changed several over the years.

where is the em flasher located and how does it look?
thanks
Been a while but IIRC, it's clipped under the edge of the dash near the ashtray.

The EM flasher is on the pedal housing in front of the fuse box The T/S flasher is on the right side of the ashtray housing. The EM flasher switch is on the column between the steering wheel and the ignition switch.

If I remember correctly from my 71 Sebring, the brake lights are powered through a wire that also goes into and out of the radio connector. Been a long time so that might have been the flashers and not the brakes. Mine had a cutoff radio connector and when I put that back on I had the lights again.
