That pretty well just leaves the hydraulically actuated switch.
Use your voltage tester and check for juice when you are holding the brake down

Yes, I check the service manual and that is the final stop, also said that I`ll need to remove the oil brake level to get there!! there any other way.

check for voltage before you pull it apart,,maybe a broken wire,,and for good measure try a new bulb,,sometime they can fool you.
