Brake light issues
Hello,
I was hoping to see if I can get some input on an issue I'm having with my 2003 dodge ram 1500. None of the break lights turn on, including the Center mounted stop lamp. I have replaced the main L/R side tail lamps and the brake light switch. Not really sure where to go from here. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, and I double checked today. And I was sure that all of them were working, but found using one of those test lights that both sides of #32 (10A Right tail lamps), #33 (20A trailer park lamps), and #34 (10A Left tail lamps) fuses were not on. I have a chilton manual which shows the power to those coming from the park lamp relay.
The relays for the parking lamps, ac condenser and starter solenoid are all the same, so I switched between them a few times to test out the functionality of the relays, and found that all three of them work.
The tail lamps on my truck are a dual fillament type. When I turn on the head lamps, they turn on. Turn signals are also turning on when I turn on the lights and they brighten up when I hit the turn signal on both directions.
I engaged the parking brake and placed truck in reverse, one of my reverse lamps is out, but I don't believe this would stop the parking lamps from turning on. I will get a replacement lamp to make sure the pixies aren't playing tricks on me.
Unfortunately, as I go through with this, it seems to be pointing at an issue in the Front Control Module or on the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module).
I may try to replace the brake lamp switch again. I did remove it from its bracket and actuated the lever from fully extended to fully retracted in case I may have screwed up the installation, but the only thing I get is a light clicking noise somewhere in the dash.
If you guys have any input, please let me know.
