'65 Dart No brake lights. Brake light switch failure?

Okay I think I understand a little better how the stop switch might work on the 65 Dart. On the 65 the rear turn lights are just the brake lights turning off and on. When stop switch plunger is released it sends power to the brake/turn lights regardless of key position. When the key is in the on position. The turn signal switch works to interrupt the juice to the brake light to cause them to blink off and on. So the power for the stop light switch is not coming from the turn signal switch it is coming from the fuse box and split from the stop switch to the brake/turn lights. The turn signal switch power is from a completely different (key on) fuse. I totally believe that a fried turn signal switch would cause the brake lights to not work but in my case it was the fried stop light switch.

Is this right?
