Harley Davidson brake lights are not working with the rear pedal!

[@marcodavila3858]

Hello, excellent video and good explanation, I have a question, I recently bought a stop similar to what you see, but I can't figure out how to connect it with my harness, since there are two bulb lights, so I have 4 cables, two red, two black, It's okay if I connect the two black ones to the ground and one red for the run and the other when the stop is activated, I appreciate your help.

I've got a 08 softail deluxe that I've taken the caliper off and rebuilt them and bled the brakes without going to Harley and it's got abs.. I also bought a cheap air bleeding kit from harbor freight that works great for flushing the brake system

Excellent video,my 2006 Roadking has the same problem going to fixed it myself. Where can I get a good price on a brake vaccuum pump?

[@hayabusa3810]

OK I just replace the bulb in my bike and nothing. I think this will be the next step. I do to my 2013 switch back. Thanks man.😅😮😂❤

I have an 2000 EVO .. where can I pick up that part brudda...

[@raymondgarafano8604]

The brake switches are in parallel each getting power from a different breaker, possibly live orange wire, turns to Red after the switch and front and rear reds come together just b4 the lite.

[@deanataylor9802]

I'm thinking somewhere between the switch and the tail light because I'm getting power to the switch I didn't check after I well I know that wire it's getting fed once I connected but it's not making it to the tail light where does that wire go from there I don't have manual I would look

[@GilstrapGarage]

Sounds like you’re on the right track. The most common place for them to have an issue in the harness is under the fender. I see it a lot where peoples bike are lowered and the tire make contact the the harness until it runs through and creates a short

[@illetrop79]

I got the same problem right now. What did you ground it to?

[@GilstrapGarage]

Are you asking What I grounded the multi meter to? I don’t remember exactly, but any bolt that’s not coated, any bare spot on the frame, or the negative battery post will work.

[@deanataylor9802]

Okay my question is now you know when you take the two wires off to check your switch to see if it might be the switch you take a wire and cross over the two and if the light comes on you know it's your switch okay most generally but what if the lights still doesn't come on when you cross them over when you connect those two wires what then

[@raymondgarafano8604]

One wire is HOT meaning +12 volts and the bike frame is ground or -- u would want a multimeter or if anything a 12 volts bulb in the socket with wires and gator clips. one clip to good ground other clip u check wires to brake sw. one wire should make test lamp lite up and if sw good, the lamp will lite when the brake is pressed

[@Blustone60]

Whats the commonality if handlebar switch and foot switch doesn't turn on brake light?

[@GilstrapGarage]

Fuse, bulb, or circuit ground would be my first guesses

[@Blustone60]

@@GilstrapGarage i can't find a fuse for it. I think its tied in with something else. I tested pressure switch its good. Looking for power source. Thanks.

[@TheSealien]

@@Blustone60 Same problem... I'm told the 15 amp accessory fuse is the power source

Great video

[@GilstrapGarage]

Thank you!

[@lawrence471]

Just jump the two wires and see if the brake lite goes on! Jeez!

[@GilstrapGarage]

Yeah definitely don’t prove that a part is bad before you change it

[@lawrence471]

Yes it does you push the brake pedal the light doesn't go on you jump the wires the light goes on obviously tells you the switch is bad.

[@ewfoc]

The KiSS method.. Lol

[@GilstrapGarage]
