Hi:
Make sure the fuse and bulbs are good. If they are, start at the brake light socket. Using a test light, test for power when the brakes are pushed. If there is power and the bulb is good, the socked must be bad. If there is no power, move to the brake light switch located under the dash / brake pedal. Check for power in and out of the switch. The switch should have power alll of the time. When the switch is closed, the power should run to the brake light. If you have power in and out, there must be a broken wire between the two. If there is power in and not out, replace the switch.
Keep in mind, make sure the brake lever is making contact with the switch. If it isn't, it may just need adjusted.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
