Another brake light issue

Short once upon a time... Cousin Jack had a chevy van full of house building tools. Hauled his beer drinking no drivers license crew to job site every day. He got stopped and warning ticket for no brake lights, (turn signal switch was the fault). Early next morn' his crew sat in my drive way while I went under the dash and temporary linked white brake switch out wire to right and left rear lamp wires. He had working brake lamps while waiting to get a new TS switch installed.
Cancel cam only might have fixed it but... replacing half a switch never made sense to me so I dont do it. I dont know if @slantsixdan can get you a quality switch for 70 and later or not. It isn't on his website. Good luck
