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.

check for signal from brake light switch. check for signal at tail light. if the switch is good it could be wiring

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?
