Alright, so I have been trying to find a topic to help this situation, but I have yet to find one that actually resolved the issue.

Ok, so I have no break light using my hand break. I have full power, and so I didn't notice till the first time I rode at night with the bike. However, luckily I always use both my breaks, and the foot break still lights up the break light.

Now, where would I begin to resolve this issue? I have to have the bike perfect for my drivers class next month.

Front brake switch probably failed. $4, replace with a new one. : )

you can strip and clean the contacts in the Brake switch, had to do mine recently.

Pry off the three little tags,watch ya don't lose the little spring inside.
pull the metal prongs out and clean them
and replace em and ya done.

This just happened to my dad's S3. Replaced the switch on the hand brake.

So.........did this work, as I'm having the
same problem with my firebolt.
how do I change the switch?
I have already pulled the wire out from
below the brake housing and cleaned it
That didn't fixed the problem
You guys make it sound so easy to change
the switch, but the switch is attached to
wires
any help is greatly appreciated
