I have changed bulbs, brake light switch, headlight switch, dimmer switch, rear wiring harness, mid harness, fuses, cleaned the ground contacts in the rear housings.. I am puzzled, have all other lights working, turn signals work... running lights work, all lights work except brake lights.. What am I missing?

Turn signal switch. They cancel the turn function when that bulb is needed as the brake light.
