Update:
Replaced the brake switch with no luck.

Tried sourcing power from the orange wire at the brake switch...no luck
Tried sourcing power from the top of the brake light fuse...no luck
Tried sourcing power from the red wire on back of the fuse block...Got LIGHT ON
Tried sourcing power from the bottom of the brake light fuse...Got LIGHT ON
Disconnected everything that uses the orange wire
Brake switch
Dome light
Ignition switch
Heater fan switch
Heater resistor
Tried sourcing the same places but no change.
Keep in mind I still have voltage at all these places.

I think the contacts in the fuse block are not getting good connection. The fuse tested good. I put half of it in the bottom and sourced power from the other side without clipping it into the fuse block.
