My brake lights recently stopped working out of the blue. All my other lights work fine.This is what I've done so far.

-Checked Fuses
-Changed Bulbs
-Looked for loose connection
-Changed Brake light switch

I tested the brake light switch with a testlight on every wire with the button pushed in and extended. The only wire that gives me power is Pin 1 (white/pink) when the button is extended.

Also there is power to the running light wire to the bulb, but not the brake light wire.

basically get a test light and ground it then check for power at pin 6 (Pink/Dark blue) then push the switch in and check pin 5 (WhiTe/TaN)
 
UPDATED
The FSM manual shows you how to check the brake light switch with continuity. So we can rule out the brake light switch being the culprit.
