The brake light switches get power from the red/blue wire coming out of the TAIL fuse. The switches send power out on the blue/red which goes to the brake light.
If you bridged the two wires in the harness at the front switch connector and it didn't light up, but the rear switch works fine, then you've got a problem in the wiring to the front switch. The same red/blue feeds basically all the running lights (dash illumination bulbs, license plate, and tail light (through the keyswitch)) too. If those and the rear switch are working, then most of the circuit is fine. The problem would have to be pretty close to the front switch, in the fork that goes just to that.
