As those lights are working and you have power out of brake switch then only thing left is the column switch mech itself

Try stepping on the brakes while wiggling the turn signal switch, have someone watch the brake lights.

It goes from the brake light switch thur the turn signal switch. I would bet the turn signal switch is your problem. It wouldn't be the first time I have seen a bad turn signal switch make the brake lights not work.
