Default Need help with the brake lights.

Sorry but this is a repeat post. I made a thread like before but I cant find it.
My problem is that my brake lights are not turing on. I have checked the bulbs and the fuses and they seem fine. Im not sure about the wiring because I will do that last. My question is this; is it really possible for both the front and the rear brake switches to go out simutaneously? It sounds a bit weird but I guess it can happen, right?
The manual does not go into detail regarding this but it mentions about the switch adjustments. I read other post on the 600rr forum but Im still not too clear on this matter.
Thanks!

i dont know if you have one but they have a tester at your local auto parts store dont know what its called but has alight bulb in it. well take itand check the wires right after the switches and see if the bulb lights up when your squeezing the brakes. and if you have juice there just work your way down the harness till it doesnt light up

noted, this will be the last and the most annoying step. checking the wiring is troublesome and frustrating.

after examining the wiring diagram, it seems that the rear switch wont work unless the front is working. am I right?

I know that the wiring on the turn signals does that, when i put in my front signals, i wired it wrong and it messed up my rear signals. Very possible that it does that for brakes also.
