Brake light switch inop ?


I think my brake light switch broke today. I lost both brake lights at the
same time, bulbs are good, and fuse is ok. I hooked up a voltmeter to my
switch and it's getting a good 6V but I'm only getting 2.5-3V at the brake
lights. I know the ground is good because the turns and park lights work. I
jumped the two terminals on the switch with a screwdriver and the lights
lighted. This sounds like a bad brake light switch doesn't it ? My car is
still 6V, so will a 12V switch have enough juice to make the contact work ? I
hate having my car down but don't want to get rear-ended either ! 
Thanks in advance,

kevin chapman
