Question Help with 1966 brake lights

Hi All. I need help with my 1966 Mustang brake lights. I have running lights and turn signals, but my brake lights just don't work anymore. We replaced the switch and it didn't help. What else couple it be?

Any ideas?

The brake lights are also the turn signal bulb elements. if you have turn signals but no brake lights, and you've confirmed the brake switch is functional, the Turn signal switch is bad.
