Default Lighting issue

I have a 78 corvette. My turn signals and brake lights stopped working yesterday. I have replace the fuse for the brake lights, replace the flasaher module and also the two bulbs in the rear. none of the above has solved the problem. The tail lights and marker lights work fine. When I turn the turn signals on the green light shows up on the dashboard steady.

I am thinking maybe the barke switch is bad....Help

It might be a bad ground for the brake lights.

Default C3 Lighting Issue

Thanks for all the input but it turned out to be a very easy fix. Didn't realize there was a flasher module on the passenger side also so thta fixed the turn signals and a new brake pedal switch fixed the brake light issue. Whew...!!
