On a lot of models - you'll have one switch that is activated when you press down on the rear brake lever (foot) - you'll look for a switch device attached to that lever. You'll also have a switch usually on the handlebar levers for front (and rear if applicable levers) you'll see a separate set of wires coming from the lever - when you press in the lever - the switch is engaged and the light should come on - release and it goes out - here's a couple pictures for clarification -
#6 above is the actual switch that activates the brake light. To determine if it's this switch giving you problems - simply unplug wire lead.
#1 above is the switch for the front brake (if you have an automatic with a rear brake lever on the handlebars - there will be a switch just like this on that lever as well) to determine if this is the culprit - simply unplug. If it is - brake light will go out when you unhook. Good luck & all the best
