pull the plug from switch and use a small wire to connect the terminal simulating brake pedal being pushed . Unless youve got a helper to push brake pedal while testing the sockets . example....

Did you put the old one back in and see if it worked then? I'd be willing to bet that your multifunction/turn signal switch is bad

And do you mean the switch on the column? It WAS working fine and the wiper controls on the switch still work.
