How do you know the switch is good? If you are not getting brake lights the switch is probably bad.

See switch location here:

Check the stop lamp switch:
(1) With an ohmmeter connected to the stop lamp switch terminals, check for continuity.
(2) If there is no continuity when the plunger is depressed and there is continuity when the plunger is released, the stop lamp switch is normal.
