Subject:brake light problem

Hi,

last week some fellow told me that my brake lights were not working. I
got home and checked to find one of the switches on the mc was not
working (the other was ok). At the time I thought it strange that the
lights would not work even with one working switch (check switch with
ohm meter, continuity when pedal pressed).

So i swapped in new switch for bad one and guess what? Still no brake
lights.

Bulbs ok, got 12 volts at switch but none at lamp.

All I can think now is that there is a break in the line somewhere,
maybe a connector come adrift.

Any suggestions?
