When I've had this problem it was due to poor grounding. This circuit tester is my best friend whenever I have these types of problems: http://www.harborfreight.com/circuit-tester-30779.html

There's a connector on the driver's side (US) at the firewall. You could make sure power's getting through there (you'd need someone to press the brake or a piece of wood to hold the brake pedal down.

There's another connector near the rear (my bed doesn't have wood, so it's easier to test).
