Look at the wiring diagram.
The brake lights are green with purple.
The wire runs from the switch into the loom, to a big plug down the side of the bulkhead into the chassis, out of the rear of the chassis, up one side of the body into the area behind the panel you can unscrew, connects with the lead from the light and a wire that goes via a short harness over to the other side of the vehicle where it connects to the other brake light.
If you need brake lights right away, you could always implement a temporary fix to disconnect the wire from the switch and replace it with a new wire from the brake light switch down to the chassis rail, down the chassis rail and up into the body behind the cover where the light connections are.
Don't use any crimp connectors back by the lights.
Just unplug the green with purple wire from the harness coming out of the frame.
Strip the end of the wire.
Unplug the green with purple wire from the harness that runs to the other side from the connector (also plugged in will be the brake light wire for that side).
Slide the stripped wire end of the temp wire into the female connector and push the bullet you unplugged from the green with purple that runs to the other brake light and plug it in so that it traps the new stripped wire into the connector.
PRESTO - Brake lights (only of all your posts were true that you were not getting (+) to the brake lights and the switch is in place and working properly.
