I have a faulty brake light switch front attached to the front brake lever. My back brake light does not come on when using the lever. It works when I apply the foot pedal. (The foot peddle switch I replaced a while back).
I have bought a Yambits replacement and one from Mikes xs. Neither fitted. Both were too large too fit into the end of the lever where it clips in. So I thought I would try and fix the existing switch.
My existing switch was missing a pin. I replaced the inner pin which was missing, using one of my recently bought switches, which I broke apart to access the bits I needed. There was no circular metal band which held the clips in place. I held it in place using electrical tape. Then I fitted it back in both ends.
I checked to see if the two wires were correctly fitted into their wiring harness within the headlight casing. They were. Fuses are all good too.
No brake lights when I pull the lever???? Any ideas??
Thanks
