Default Brake light problem

Question i have an 81 vette and my brake lights just went out . I checked the fuse and its good , If its the brake switch behind the brake pedal is there a way to test it before replacing it to see if thats the problem or is there something else to try , thx.

I am thinking it is a simply on off switch. An ohm meter should show continuity.
