Brake Lights

Afternoon,

My brake lights have suddenly stopped working. I’ve checked the fuses (I think). I can’t seem to get into the lights to check the bulbs. Any help would be appreciated.

 

street twin, I beleive

If in doubt, I would replace the fuse rather than check it, check where the cables go into the light housing.
I think you have to go in from the back so under the seat maybe
have you done any work around there lately

 

Check brake light switch continuity

 

Street twin, I swapped fuses over and the back light one works.

 

I have never touched the lights or back end of the bike. I checked the fuse in a different socket and it works so don’t think it’s that

 

are they LED's not much you can do with those apart from check the wiring

 

Have both front and rear stopped working, if not check switch on non working one.

 

Neither brake activates the lights. Which fuse is for the back lights?

Thanks for that but I am not that clever.

 

You have to check the bulbs.

 

Mine stopped working. It was the switch on the front break lever had stuck. very quick and easy replacement. Switch was £2 delivered. Not sure how it had stopped the rear break working but after replacing it they both worked.

 

It sounds stupid but it still makes a small click when I press it did yours stop doing that?
Do you have a link to where you got a replacement from?
Thanks

 

Mine was so corroded it didn't move at all.

I got it from velofox it was £9 sorry I thought it was only £2

 

Mine clicked, and didn't work.

 

Do you have a multi meter or a test lamp / lead ?
