Default Brake lights

I have no brake lights working on a 1998 Caravan. Seems to common on here. Checked the fuses, relay, and changed the switch and still nothing. I read this post:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-c...ke-lights.html
which provided alot of info, but the wiring colors do not match the ones noted for a 2005.

Anyone know what colors are for the power in and out at the switch for the brake lights on a 1998? What do the other wires do? There is no power at any of the 6 wires coming in.

Any ideas?

Thanks- Jeff

The B+ wire is pk/db cav #6, Did you ck fuse 13 in the PDC? and 1,3 and 5 in the juntion block too. If the fuses are all good, try using a jumper from battery voltage to cav 6 on the brake switch. If the lites work then you may need a body control module.

Thanks for the info. No power in on PK/DB. Fuse 13 ok. Junction box- is that the same as the BCM? Or where is the juction box?

I put power to the WT/TN and the lights work. Added a new wire from PDC 13 out to PK/DB in at switch for now. Brake lights now work.

Thanks- Jeff
