Author Message   Ryels Posted on Thursday, May 27, 2010 - 01:16 pm:        Riding home yesterday and my buddy tells me my brake light is out. I get home take off the light, unplug the 3 connections, put it all back together and now the light works. However when I pull the front brake lever or step on the back brake lever the light doesn't get any brighter..it's almost like it's stuck w/ the brake light on. Is this behavior of a bulb going bad? I guess I should begin tracing back the wires from the front and back brake? Anyone ever experience this?   Ryels Posted on Thursday, May 27, 2010 - 01:50 pm:        I'm at work so I can't check until later, but does the bulb have to go in a certain way? I think I just stuck it back in and never looked.   Froggy Posted on Thursday, May 27, 2010 - 01:51 pm:        One of your brake switches is stuck on. Unplug them to see which one it is. You can try taking it apart and cleaning it out, or you can get a new one dirt cheap.   Ryels Posted on Friday, May 28, 2010 - 07:51 am:        Well the problem was I put the bulb back in wrong, "duh", all is good now. Thanks for the post Froggy.
