Default No Back Brakes

On the way home I had front and rear brakes in highway traffic, once I got out of town and came to my exit my rear brake peddle bottomed out... I didn't have any rear brakes! When I got home I checked my fluid, it was full. I saw in my fuses I have a four pronged fuse that has brake relay wrote on it (may this is my problem?). Also my brake lights don't work when I press my rear brake... the lights do work when I press my front brake. does anybody have any info as to what I can do... this is my only ride! (it's a 2008 FLHTCU) Thanks in advance...

When this happened to me I had lost brake fluid due to faulty brake light switch. If you have fluid in rear brake res. you should have brakes. May need new switch and bleed rear brakes. napa carries the switch for about 8 or 10 bucks.
