Okay so let me give everyone a run down on what is happening:

My rear lights all work, they turn on when my headlights are on, they work when I am in reverse, but they DO NOT light up when I hit the brake pedal. I have checked the fuses under the hood and they are all in good condition and I have no found any other fuses for my brakes anyplace else. No lights are lighting up on my dashboard (such as ABS or BRAKE). I checked the wires going into the brake sensor with a multi-meter and I am getting the correct 12 volts in, but checking the wire out (I believe tan/brown) I am getting 0 volts out or rather no signal.

I recently replaced the shift cable that connects from my shifter to my tranny, and the brake sensor that goes down against the metal shaft of the brake pedal (I bent the button on my original brake sensor when I dropped the steering column for something else the day before). The best I can figure is that my new brake sensor is faulty and I need to return it to the dealer and get a new one, but of course what is a car problem without a kicker. If my car has the key in the igniation and I turn the key to the on position (without starting the car), I can freely shift the truck without needing to press the brake pedal (not sure if this is related to my lights problem or if I need to check the shift cable I installed also, but all my gears line up correctly at least). When I took the brake sensor off after driving a short distance I do get the ABS and BRAKE light to light up on my dashboard (yes I know you cannot reinstall the same sensor after you remove it, I took it off to give to the dealer so they could replace it with another 1).
