Headlight Grounding

I have been searching for a solution to my brake light problem, and though this is an old thread, this seems to be the best place to start.

I have no brake lights, period.

I have checked continuity on the brake light switch, it is good. I have checked for power on both sides at the rear of the vehicle at the bullet connectors near the rear bumper, I have power on one of the three posts and coninuity on the ground. I have no power going to the brake light post. I have checked and cleaned and reset every ground I can find, front, rear, and in between.

I have checked and cleaned every connection that I can trace. I get lost between the brake light switch and the outbound side of the fuse box.

I have to drive to work in the dark everyday, and have nearly been rear-ended at least half a dozen times in the last three weeks.

I am tempted to run a jumper from the switch straight to the brake light (a previous owner did this, but did a poor job that affected the turn signals and markers), but I know that is only a temporary fix.

Short of pulling the steering wheel and replacing the turn signal switch, where else can I search for a fix to this?

Thanks for whatever assistance you may be able to provide.
