Default Brake light switch wiring

Hey guys, my car is a 1991 Civic DX.
I just recently bought it, and the brake lights don't work. There's nothing plugged into the brake light switch on the pedal. The rest of this is copied from another forum.


Alright, so 4 brake light wires go to this clip.

Only one leaves.
It appears to go under the carpet, and I'm guessing back to the taillights.

Then, there's the brake light switch.

It has nothing plugged into it.

It's right near the clip I mentioned above.

I texted a kid who has an EF hatch who lives in WV, and he said three green/white wires leave from the switch. (My brain says these must be the missing wires from the clip)

But inside the clip, there's only a post on the side where one wire comes out. No sign of wires ever being on the other side, no post on that side.

Does anyone have a picture of the wiring under their dash, or could tell me that the three missing wires from the clip do indeed go to the switch?
Thanks.

Can anyone take a peek at their brake light switch, please? Just to tell me which wires come out, and See if they run to that clip? The switch right at the top of the brake pedal, it'd take like 5 minutes.
Thanks.

Nobody? This is the only thing keeping my car off the road. I'm 18, and don't really have the know how/money to do trial and error and mess something else up.

I just need someone to peek under their dash, look at the top of their brake pedal, see what wires come out, then follow them maybe 6 inches to this clip, if they do indeed go there, please.

I think the clip is being bypassed. That four wire plug should be going into the brake switch I think.
