Hello, does the high-mount brake lite work? Did you check for voltage at the fuses? Even if the fuse is good, if there is no feed, it won't matter. The brake fuse is hot all the time. The turn fuse circuit goes hot when you turn on the key.

The lower brake lites and turn signals use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time.

When you replaced the turn switch/multifunction, did you check the feed circuits to the switch?

No the high mount brake light, is not working. Power to both fuses.
Have not checked the circuit to switch. Are there are typical colors of the wires which would be power?

Hello, as far as the brake switch, orange is feed to the switch, white is feed for the brake lites. The high-mount brake lite is wired a little different than the lower ones. The bulb in the highmount lite, is it ok?
