I couldn't understand this comment:

Do you have +12v at one of the leads coming to the brake light switch? Does the switch close the contacts when the brake pedal is pressed? Is there +12v at the bulb socket when the brake is pressed?

I have 12 volts on the white wire when the pedal is pressed and orange wire is the hot wire,but no voltage at the bulb.

So the switch is closing and sending 12v across to the white wire that runs to the rear, but back at the taillight housing there is no voltage? Sounds like you've got a break in the wire somewhere between the stoplight switch and the taillights. Not fun to trace the wiring of these cars, but I think that's all you're left with.
