I discovered recently my brake light doesn't come on for either the front or the rear brake control. The running light comes on no problem.

i pulled off the rear light cover, only to discover both filaments (appearing) still intact. I'm off to get a multimeter to help trouble shoot this and a horn issue i'm having.

Any ideas? i can't imagine both brake switches failing at or near the same time. and it doesn't look like this could be fuse issue.

thanks
Alex

Does your horn work and blinkers work?
You may have blown a fuse.
I had my rear brake light pressure switch go bad, just replaced it with a unit from NAPA and bleed the brakes.

The front brake goes serial through the rear brake. So look from the rear brake back to the tail light. It will either be a bulb or probably the spring loaded contact for the bulb. Of course don't over look the fuse.
