Also If the Directional signal switch is engaged with the key off and then you turn it on, you can hear one blink under the dash and then it stops. When this happens you do not get one flash of the lights at the rear or the front turn lights.

Brian,
When I said correctly on the brake light switch, I meant get a good 12 volt power source hooked to it. Don't know whats wrong with the wire you have going to it now, would have to see the car to figure that one out. FWIW the original stop light power wire comes straight from the fuse box and should be pink. Location/position, in stop light switch, does not matter on the pink wire(power in) and natural wire (power out to column).
From what you've described, correcting that power supply will solve the brake light problem.
Turn signals; need to check the flasher out better, it may be bad and your only problem with the turn signals. Try a new flasher or put a jumper wire in place of the flasher and see if the turn signal lights light up, of course with the jumper the lights will not blink but it will tell you if that was the problem. With a jumper in place of the flasher, the purple wire in the turn signal column harness connector, should be hot with the ignition switch on.
Check it out and post back what you find, can go further from there. May end up being power supply to the fuse box.
