If you ohm the white wire do you have continuity to (2) other wires (stalk in neutral) & if so what colors are they?

The brake light switch is a pretty simple switch. it has power coming in (whatever color that wire might be), That power comes from the fuse panel. When the brake pedal is up, the switch is open, and no power goes through it. When you step on the pedal, the switch is turned on and the power goes through the other side. (Newer brake light switches with cruise control can have up to 6 wires from the brake switch, if you don't have 6 wires, we won't go into that). If there are 2 wires coming from the out put side, both of those wires should go to the turn signal switch.
From the brake switch, the power should go to the turn signal switch where it will be separated to a left and a right side, so the brake light can be canceled for the turn to function. If you jump past the brake light switch so the output wires are powered, you should get another power source coming into the turn signal switch, and that power should supply power to both rear turn/brake lights individually, through the turn switch. Gene
The only service manual I have available right now is a 78 Van, and the turn signal switch in it only has 8 pins. I would give you the pin out of the turn signal switch.

OK, so I've been thinking about this. The 8 pin connector for the 78 Van is as follows: 1) 18 G white - power from the brake light switch 2) 18 g dark green - to the right rear turn 3) 18 g yellow w/ black line -to left rear turn 4) 18 G red - power from turn signal flasher 5) 18 g dark blue - power from hazard flasher 6) 18 G light green - right front turn 7) 18 g yellow - left front turn 8) 18 g dark green with white line - power from the horn fuse
From this list, you should have power coming into the turn signal switch from the following wires: Turn flasher with the key on. Hazard (4 way) flasher any time. Brake light switch only when the pedal is stepped on. Horn any time. The horn honks when the power wire is grounded.
Generally, wires from the turn switch that have yellow on them are for the left turn (front or rear) and wires with green are right turn (front or rear, except the horn wire)
From each of the front turn wires there may also be a wire for each side of the same color that is a much smaller wire, those would be for the turn signal lights on the dash. On the newer stuff (like this 78) those wires would have been pulled off the body side harness, they may be the other 2 wires on your connector. At this point, I really wouldn't worry too much about any extra wires in the connector. It would simply mean a secondary circuit doesn't work.
If you power these wires, your turn and brake lights should work. You should be able to use a jumper wire from a hot source to each light wire and see that light light up on your car. Gene

ain't wiring fun ? especially when one gets to sort out others "repairs". i can't count how many "fixes", installs, and "repairs" i have done over the years. i don't have much hair left on the top of my head. keep after it, you will succeed !

I happy to hear you got it whipped, congratulation!
If you think the 69 wiring in the service manual is difficult to follow, you won't want anything to do with most of the mid 90s FSM wiring diagrams, they are spread out over about 20 pages. Gene you ain't just a kidding on the new stuff diagrams. and 2000+ is even MORE fun ! good connector tools are a MUST have if a guy is going to do wiring work. especially on the new stuff. i'm glad the OP got this sorted as well. good job ! now don't get old and forget your new found knowledge ........ [like i do]
