Did the spring on your brake safety swith break or the switch fail?-I'd try to by-pass it first to see if that's the issue- just disconnect it and plug the two wires it was plugged into together

Have you verified the wires haven't came loose from the switches? That happens to me occasionally.

If your good there I would go through your connections in the electrical box. Pull everything apart and put back together to verify nothing has came loose.

That's a fact. I've had my fair share of those when working on these toys.
