No brake lights with front lever or rear pedal

On my standard 97 Valk, all the sudden I'm getting no brake lights. Nothing by hand or foot. The tail light works. The fuse and bulb filaments look good. Could it be a break switch? Easy fix? Thanks.

I would check bulb with VOM.
Also check wires at rear with same.
There are two switches, one at pedel
and one at lexer.

See if your horn works. There are 2 fuses 1 for tail lights and 1 for brake lights. If no horn, fuse is blown

I worked on a Valk for a friend who had no brake lights. Front or rear. Thought a fuse (nope); loose/broken wires (nope). Stumped for a few minutes. Found the front lever switch was faulty, Cleaned/lubed switch; so I got br. lights working. Pedal still didn't work. The spring connecting the pedal to the rear switch was gone. Who'da thunk 2 problems with brake lights at the same time.
