... but then I'm the king of stupid questions. :D


Where is the brake light switch for my front brake? My brake light isn't coming on when I apply the front brake.


:(


EDIT: to correct some patheticly poor English.

It's usually up near the lever pivot.

Cheers mate ... that is very usefull. Looked at mine and the connectors appear to be inplace ok. If I pull the brake lever, I can hear the clicking of the switch but no light so is that telling me that the switch is fooked or the switch is OK and I need to look elsewhere?

short the wires out if the light comes on then its the switch or dodgy connection


if no light its further down the line :thumb:

Aha ... dodgy connection. I shorted the wires and got a light. Put the connectors back on and tested gain ... no light. Then I noticed that sometimes I got a quick flash when I pulled the lever so I held the lever in and wobbled the connections and I got the light come on and off.


It's going to be pissing buckets here tomorrow so maybe Tuesday or Wednesday I'll take a look at it.

Decided to try something. Took the connectors off and sprayed WD40 over the pins and in the connectors. Then squeezed the connectors a bit with pliers and replaced them. Light seems to work again. :D


Will check again tomorrow but looks like another quick job sorted. Thanks.

unscrew the switch and take it indoors :thumb:


:lol:

 

If it doesn't work, Stu, I'll do exactly that. Hopefully it is now sorted though.
