Running Lights, blinkers, 4-ways all work however the brake lights do not work. White brake wire hanging loose need to know where it attaches. Blows fuse when tied in with right and left turn signal. Can you advise where it is to be attached in order to have brake lights

Welcome to the forum, where is the white wire located? Did you check the circuit at the stop lamp switch? Orange wire is voltage to switch, hot all the time. When the switch is activated, the white wire goes hot, for the brake lights. For the lower brake lites, the white wire goes to multiwire connector, under dash close to steering column. The lower brake lites are wired through the multifunction switch/turn signal. Your high-mount brake lite is wired differently.
