Power needs to get to and through the fuse before it gets to the brake switch or flasher. Have you checked both sides of the fuse socket? Sometimes the socket can have corrosion and the fuse will read dead on both sides. If there's no power at the socket, look back toward the battery. Possibly a fusible link coming off the starter relay or maybe a bad connection at a power terminal on the firewall.
