did you mix up the wires on the tail light? Switch the orange/white and red/yellow wires. i think those are the colors on the tail light.
I thought the brake light was bad and got new lights.. I replaced it and the tail light works fine, but the brake light doesn't. Both hand brake and foot brake doesn't work for the light. I am thinking it's some wire problem, but I'm not trying to mess around with it if I don't have to. If anyone has an idea, please let me know! Thanks!

I switched them around but I didn't want to take them apart from the fixture they are on, on account I don't know much about wiring things.
Its two wires... Just switch them see if that works. Not rocket science.
you might have both of your brake switches out.
I've had a handful of customers have both out and didn't know it until they installed their new LED light from me to find the only thing on was the running lights (Until fixing the brake light switches)
........scary stuff!
Good luck

does your horn work?
Is not.. then there is a blown fuse
Yeah, the horn & brake lights run off the same fuse. Learned that the hard way by installing a Stebil air horn without a relay and kept blowing that fuse. (Relay has since been installed).
I just had to clean the connections on the hand switch a few days ago because only the foot switch was working.
This is simple i deal with it pn my 03 all the time. Its a dual diod bulb meaning half the bulb can go bad. Tape the brake lever on and adjust the bulb around till the brake light turns on. If that doesnt work get a new bulb and do the same thing. Even if it looks like its in it gets a little out of adjustment and the brake diod doesnt work
I think you mean a dual filament bulb. A diode is a 2 terminal electrical component that lets current(12v) flow towards the cathode and ground the other. Ground would flow towards the cathode side or the side with a stripe. These are cheap and easy to use to isolate a circuit from another
