Full Version: brake light stuck on
Hi all not looked into this yet but thought would post and ask if anyone else's brake light has ever stuck on and any quick solutions before I start investigating cheers
Have a look at the switch connected to the rear brakes, maybe it got bumped out of it's bracket or just needs an adjustment. Did you lower your pegs, or adjust the height of the pedal recently?
It probably the rear as it gets covered in cack. Either
[1] disconnect one wire from the front brake light switch and see if they go out or not
[2] push the rear brake switch up and see if the light goes out.
I've had my rear get stuck once or twice. I've just disconnected the spring pulled it out and sprayed a bit of lube on it. Pushed it in/out until it's all nice and free and stuck it back on....remembering to readjust if required.
