Brake light not working

Post by StuMiller »

Hi all,

Been quite a while since I've been here. Just resolved my log in issues. (Thanks Madkaw).

Noticed after my last ride, my brake light is not working. I checked the fuse and it looks fine. All other lights work fine, but no brake light at all.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers.

Got a feeling when you read that Stu you're gonna think "now why the heck didn't I think of that" :lol:

is it an aftermarket LED light ? I had issues with mine on the MFP12 - turns out it was an internal wire that had come adrift from the circuit board. The soldering is not much chop - had to be re-soldered, works fine now.

Could be worth checking out on yours

OEM light. I'll revisit the wires as everthing else looks ok.

Cheers.

Loose wire. All fixed. Now I just need to work out where to mount the GoPro.
