2nd picture goes to the power steering pump.

Test the brake light switch with a multimeter. Check the bulbs, check the grounds at the plugs for the bulbs. The hanging wire is the sensor for the power steering pump.

It is kind of hard to understand what you are saying with the giant run on sentence. The extra plug by the brake light sensor is likely the cruise cancel sensor, or the clutch switch plug. Did you test the switch like i told you to? The wire in the engine bay IS for the power steering sensor. The power steering will work fine without it. It hooks to the top of the pump.

i tested the plug the bulbs all good the relays

So you tested the brake light switch with a multimeter and verified that it has continuity with the pedal pushed and doesn't when the pedal isn't pushed.

Yeah, the video really didn't help.

This next question is going to sound really stupid but I promise I'm going somewhere with this...

Are you sure you're using the correct bulbs? And if so are they installed correctly?

I ask because I've seen Chevys that people put in the wrong bulbs and they make the brake lights and turn signals go completely cattywompus. (+1 for using the word cattywompus)

You should also have checked the brake light switch with a multimeter on the beepy(continuity) setting and made sure the switch itself is working. They do fail.

i checked it with a multi meter dosent have beepy but it was working and my dad checked the switch but your saying maybe switch le bulbs ??

 

[bryanwheat]

Do you have power going to the switch?

I fixed them. Brake light switch was fine i just had to rewire all the lights.
