Did you check for voltage at the brake switch. White wire hot all the time. Lite green goes hot when the brake switch is activated. The voltage circuit is fused, fuse 12---15 amp, underhood fuse box.

Also, there could be a wiring circuit problem. Check for voltage first, use a testlite/voltage tester.
