Default No Brake lights

I noticed the other night that my brake light was not working, when the bike was on the jack. Got the bike off of the jack everything was fine. Just changed handlebars and once again no brake lights. I think I broke the nub off of the brakelight switch in handlebar switch housing. When I take the brake lever off manually push the switch with my finger brake light works. But still doesnt work when I use the rear brake. I disconnected the brakelight mondule still nothing. wtf

I figured out the brake light problem. The brake light switch tip broke off last time I put grips on but it still worked. After taking the switch housing back off and reinstalled it, the brake lever wasn't touching it. Will have to put in a new brake light switch tommorrow. Thanks for the help, I told the wife that is why I am always on here reading.
