I figured if I jumped the white wire to the yellow and green and mashed the brake pedal my switch was good if the brake lights worked .
That would be the case if the orange wire going to the brake switch has power and the brake switch was good. Are you sure that the white wire from the brake switch is good all the way to the steering column plug?
