Need help. Brake light always on.

I went for a tour this weekend and I noticed that my brake light is always on, where should I look first?

thanks

There is an ajoining lever that comes off the brake lever which activates the brake light switch. Check to see if that is jammed or something, or maybe your brake lever isnt returning back all the way.

Mine is doing the same thing. Im just gonna take it off and dry the switch out real good. Sometimes it would work then it wouldnt...IDK this is just what im going to try with mine

Anyone else before I start wrenching?

I am having the same problem. Im just gonna leech off your thread and see what others say. I have already replaced the electronic switch assembly on mine and problem is still there. So I dont think it is the switch. And there does not seem to be any kind of adjustment. I am thinking some sort of spacer or washer above or below the brake switch lever on the handle bars. Is your brake lever stock or an aftermarket piece? Good luck!

stock lever, I'm gonna check it out now. It wouldn't have anything to do with the relay that was supposed to be replaced for the lights on startup? I haven't changed that relay yet.

OK I just metered the switch and it is in the closed position all the time, so I'm assuming I need a new switch. Sound right?

right you're switch sould be a normally open type.

I took mine apart today cleaned it up sprayed it with some electric cleaner and put it back together, works fine now? Must have gotten wet and dirty....
