1985 dodge van brake lights do not work. I replace the stop light switch, bulbs and fuses. What else can it be?

Did you take a voltage reading, anywhere? I looked at a B150. Turn/brake use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. At the brake switch, pink is voltage, white wire goes hot when the brake switch is activated. The brakes lites are wired through the turn switch. Without doing some testing, hard to know where the problem is located.

I did get a voltage tester at Auto Zone. The technician said if there is no current then I have a bigger issue. Not looking forward to more repairs but to be safe I need to have brake lights.
