So my 73's brake light isn't working.  The light is on but the brake light won't come on when either of the brakes are pressed.  Here's what I've done and the result:

I've checked the bulb, NO
I've dissassembled the rear switch, cleaned and hooked back up, NO
Checked the wiring, I actually changed the tail light,but it wasn;t working even b4 I did that, NO

The thing that's weird is after I disassembled the rear switch and hooked it back up, when I press the brake it kinda gets dim.  Like there's something happening but not what's supposed to happen.  

ANY help of suggentions would be great, it's not a good feeling riding around with a brake light that dosent work.  

Thanks.
