No Brake Lights!
I have a 76 f150. I have no brake lights. Im trying to figure out how the brake lights get power with the ignition switch off. I have replaced a blown fuse with a new one but still do not have power going to the brake light switch with the key on or off. At the fuse box where the hot wire runs to the brake switch only has power when the ign. is on but still do not get power to the brake light switch.
Any ideas on where to look next would be much appreciated. THANKS!

The brake light circuit, just like the emergency flashers, should be hot at all times. If that's not the case, then the wiring has been messed with. The brake light circuit should have no visibility toward the position of the ignition switch.
