fuse - check
brake pin switch - is this necessary if the 3rd brake light works. I mean, I will check it when I get home from work, but....
Is it obviously a wire?
Hmm. Well, there may be 2 outputs on the brake pin switch. One for 3rd brake light and another for the rears. I would say though without knowing this for sure that the ground wire would be the next think to check out. I mean, you can test this by applying 12V to the wire that would light the brake lights and making sure they come on or just simply finding the wires and ensuring a proper ground.
I know you've probably tried this, but are the turn signals also the brake light? If so, did you try the hazards? You didn't say what kind of car so I'm just guessing here.
