So i have no brake lights.... I have no brake lights on my 02 camaro. fuse is good. (dual filiment) bulbs are good. Dash lights up. Hazards work. turn signal works. tail lamps work. Bypassed the stoplight switch. Also plugged into a spare stoplight switch... no dice. All bulb pigtails are clean of corrosion. At this point im going to have to get a wiring diagram. Anyone have any suggestions or a wiring diagram?

the third is not wired in. i will check if it is getting a change in amperage when i hit the pedal. Ill check that im getting power to the fuse and to the brake switch.(weather permitting) I was hoping someone would chime in and tell me it was something simple.
I just had and fixed this problem....if the 3rd light does not light.....its the switch at the brake pedal.....otherwise its the turn signal switch under the steering wheel

so i checked to see if the fuse was getting power (good)... brake switch was good.... wire to the brake switch was getting power. used a probe.... checked half way down to the rear that the blue wire was getting power (none). moved right next to the kick panel None). After a few hours, gallons of sweat and pints of blood (mosquitoes), i found that wiggling the blue wire under the dash lit the brake lights momentarily. Replaced the plug for the brake lights (including about 6 inches of wiring after the plug) on the brake switch and i have reliable brakes again. 
Good to go!
Good to go! Could you tell how or why the plug got damaged? Luckily fbodies don't seem to suffer any major body wiring issues besides the body control module itself, which would have been my next suggestion

Thanks for posting up the resolution, I did the six speed swap as well and used an m6 pedal assembly with the connectors and sensors already installed. Hopefully I don't have that problem
