Default can you please test your brakelight switch??

hey guys on my 92 cherokee i need to know if the blue and red wire comming out of the brake light switch has power when the brake is pressed or if it cuts power?? i think i got a bad switch from autozone .

that same wire connects to the pos on the bulb but when i do a continuity test on it it shows that its connected to a ground?? short in the wires maybe?

im lost please help
thanks!
