Sounds like the wrong connector. Two connectors there in the same area, one having like 8 or so wires & being lower then the connector you went into. THe one with around 8 wires would be the one I believe you should find the white in. But that was years ago I did that & could be wrong lol.

na those are not the wires at all. there should be 2 connectors on top. they are flat connectores. you have the blinker connector not the brake one.
take some pictures from top down on the colum and we can tell you which one better.

the white wire should be in this harness, behind the wires you are looking at.

no its in the harnes thes directly behind the hazard light switch, like everyone said its a flat harness. the first wire should be white, or a color really really close to white, might be a differant color due to age, and/or the yucky electrical tape.
