Does the high mount light work, or get power?
Is the power getting to the brake light switch?
Is the switch sending power out when operated?
The 4 way flashers operate on the same output circuits as the brake lights in the rear. Do they work?
The answers to these questions will point to the location of the failure.
The brake light switch directly controls the high mount brake light. You should be able to measure power to the brake light switch, and then confirm that it turns the controlled circuit on, and from there measure that power at the socket for the high mount lights. There are no short-cuts to figuring this stuff out, you must take a systematic approach. So, reconfirm if you have power to, and then through the brake light switch, then report back what you found.
