Default Brake lights do not work

Greetings.

The car is an '87 Accord DX hatch. All the lights work except the tail lights when I press the pedal. The bulbs and fuses are good. I even went as far at to replace the switch but they still do not work. I've searched everywhere on the web but nothing has provided an answer.

I used a test light where the switch connects to the harness and that is getting juice. Now I need to use a test light on the green and white wire on the tail lights? That is the brake light wire correct?
