Does turn signal switch control brake lights?
When we use the turn signal switch, it cancels the brake light signal, on the side selected. If it did not, the lights would stay on and not flash. A bad turn-signal switch may interrupt the brake light circuit when it should not. A broken wire to or from the switch may also cause the lower brake-lights not to work.

No, they do not have to blink amber. You can have bulbs that blink white OR amber in the front. In the rear, they must blink either amber or red. The casings/housings themselves can be clear so long as the bulb blinks either amber or white in the front and amber or red in the rear.
