guzzler Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The brake light can be finicky without it being relay related too! I had a loose connection in the light assembly early on which made the light intermittent... Just saying. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I only went as far as confirming the bulb was OK. Filament looks fine and rear light works just no brake light. Im going to take it out for a short spin today and see if anything else stops working again😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Do use an eraser to clean the contacts of the bulb/lamp and the holder . Put a contact grease in the socket to keep this from happening again . My bike did the same thing ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a number of bulbs for various lights that looked fine, but weren't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all looks OK, but it can't be as once I had refitted it all everything worked as it should apart from the lack of a brake light. Check the bulb and all the connectors and all looks good so I'm guessing I have a partially knackered relay? If the front brake hand lever does not light the brake light, does the rear brake foot lever? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect, although I haven't checked, that rather than the brake light still not working it is actually permanently on. I broke a spade connector off the original and fitted the new one which had arrived the day after the issues started, initially after I broke the connector the brake light still worked off the foot brake, then nothing during the issue. Now I, thinking about it, I suspect I've managed to fit the microswitch with the plunged wedged in the light on position. I'll check it out later. All was good when I went for a 40 mile spin yesterday, briefly had no neutral light, other than that it was fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
