Welcome to the forum. Since it's a 55 and body feed fuse & courtesy lights appear OK, the brake switch does have two sets of contacts and provides the feed to the TL control switch circuit. If bad, it will disable the system & the switches are known to fail. Options are a NOS switch, a 3 terminal VW replacement from parts store, a relay conversion so a standard 2 prong switch will work or a full mechanical switch replacement operated by the pedal arm. Here is a thread having some mention of the options and some switch replacements available locally.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=16977#forumpost16977

No brake lights indicate a blown fuse. Check the stoplight fuse in 55 TL systems. If it blows, the TL will not work.

Hi Phil,
I think our paths have crossed a few times. Your '53 Patrician wouldn't happen to be maroon would it? You may recognize my car from the avatar. As others have said, welcome to this great forum. You will find a wealth of knowledge here and many wonderful folks willing to help. I look forward to seeing the new addition to your Packard stable.

Hello Phil,
I will give you a suggestion on your TL. Last weekend, I went with another Packards North Texas member to help with another members 56 Caribbean TL. He was going to replace one thing and another. It turned out that the wires were not on the right terminals on the stop light switch!
