The brake light switch may need anadjustment or it may be disconnected or it may be  dead. Try pulling on the spring that goes to the brake arm  (with the Key on) and see if the brake light comes on

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there in lurks the skid demon

When I baught mine the spring was wired to the break lever with a twistie tie.  I don't recomend it but is was a good laugh when I got in there to figure out why it didn't work.  I just replaced the twistie tie with some real wire and no problems since.
