The turn signal switch is the "brain" that allows things to be brake lights and or a turn lamp or hazards,
It's not the bulbs and stop/brake lamp and hazard share a fuse.
I assume when you said all work they work both turn and hazard, just no brake lights and since you say you replaced the brake switch did you get a test light or voltage meter and are sure volts is getting to the brake light switch and out of it?
I do not believe that power is getting from the brake switch to the lamps....

brake lights 1980
Thank you. After further testing, I found that the hazards didn't work.
I had power to the switch on the pedal but it didn't go anywhere.
I finally came up with a wiring digram and found everything going to the directional switch. Will get into this discovery and possibility a fix.
