Recently had my brake switch cut above the wires cut above my brake switch. I replaced the brake switch, still no brake lights but have running lights. I have two turn signals but no brake lights. Any ideas?

Most of the time it is the combination flasher. To be sure, here is a guide on how to check for power and the brake light wiring diagrams, and the combination flasher location so you can change it out. Make sure to check the fuses.
