brake lights not working

I finally got my blinker problem figured out , only to find I have no brake light, using either brake, so I kind of doubt both switches failed at the same time.
I believe the brake light is staying on at all times.
Anyone recommend a place to start looking for the problem?

Is there any brake wiring in the headlight shell?
That's where my blinker problem was.

If the light is staying on all the times, it may well be one of the switches that is stuck/kaputt.

Try un-plugging the wire from the front switch. It's under the front master cylinder.

Yes it was a brake switch sticking, the rear one.

Thanks
