you can check the switch by using a Test Light. With the ignition switch to "ign." check which wire delivers 12 Volts to the brake light switch. Connect the Test Light to the other (not 12 V) wire and to ground. Press the brake pedal...the light must be on.
If the brake light switch is OK .....hm.....another possibility is that you have a defective Hazard Switch
If nothing helps you should get an wiring diagram. You'll find such diagrams e.g. in the Chilton Repair manuals (Part No 8576 for 1976 to 86 Pick us and Broncos.)
I hope this helps a little
