Front brake and brake light problem
#2
If you look underneath the brake leaver, at the switch, you will see the little button on it is always pushed in when not squeezing the lever. When you pull the lever, the switch button moves out and closes the switch which lights the light.

Is the lever adjusted in to much? There doesn't seem to be a movement adjustment on the switch, but you could try to loosen the screw on it and see if there is a little movement.

Or maybe there is a dead bug or crud in blocking the switch. Hey, it happens. Also while you are looking, make sure the terminal are plugged on good.

Edit to add: I guess another possibility is your fornt brakes need to be bled/flushed. Are the front brakes spongy?
