HELP brake light issues 2005 VFR

Gentlemen/Ladies,

I need a little help. I have recently discovered that my rear brake light has decided to stop working. Here is what I have seen and tried so far:

1. replaced the brake light (no joy)
2. unplugged and replugged the connections on the hand brake (no joy)
3. same as above on the foot brake (no joy)

I have running lights, but no brake lights illuminate regardless of whether I use the hand brake or the foot brake.

I looked in the factory service manual and couldn't find any gotchas.

Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks, Matt

 

Do you have voltage at the switch?

 

Ground wire or the second wire at the light? Bad light plug?
