The brake switch at the pedal does have six wires, but none go to the multifunction switch (on the steering column). The white wire with tan tracer goes to the combination flasher to be integrated with the turn signals/hazard lights. The combination flasher is under the dash next to the steering column and has a sixteen pin connector (ten of which have wires).
You need to test the brake light switch, it is above the brake pedal and it is actuated by the brake pedal arm. Press the brake, the switch connector should show 12 volts on both sides, if not the wiring connector is defective or the switch is defective. Below is a diagram of a typical brake switch which is #4 in diagram.
Check your brake switch up high on the brake pedal. It sounds like it needs re-adjusting. When the pedal is up (not depressed), the switch prevents electrical contact for current to the brake lights. Current runs from fuse in fusebox to the brake switch to the brake lights.
bought new alternator and battery. This fixed the dash lighting up like a christmas tree. Park brake still stays on. However, there is no lights when driving at night in the dash (unable to see speedo, revs etc) and no light to interior light, original clock or anything. Any suggestions????
I have a 72 amx, the two wire conector at the brake light switch down on the brake pedal is light green and pink and the plastic connector is brown and plugs into the switch at the top of the brake pedal.
