Default Help - no brake light with rear brake?

Yesterday afternoon I went for a Biketoberfest ride up to Iron Horse and on my way home I got pulled over? I wasn't speeding or doing anything stupid (this time) and I got blue lighted? Turns out my rear brake light was not working at all? Running light fine - brake no. The Man let me go the last mile home with just a verbal warning - thanks officer I'll get a current copy of my registration from the DMV today.

When I got home I pulled the seat and yanked around some wires and the light started working with the front brake but I could not get it to light up when I hit the rear? No frayed wires or anything unusual looking.

Any suggestions?
