Default brake lights

hi, does anyone know why my brake lights have stopped working? (on a 2wd saff cossie) i have checked the bulbs, gave the connectors a clean in the cluster, checked the switch is still connected on brake pedal, but nothing the lights are on on the display thingy in the center of the dash which used to go off once the pedal is pressed. any help please

Take the two wires off the switch and cross them with a small piece of wire, if your lights come on swich is naff.

If everything else is working ok, I'd be looking to make sure the switch has got a live there at one side of the switch.
