Brake Light Problem

I have a 03 600rr and my brake light illuminates but when i apply the front or rear brakes, the brake light doesn't acknowledge it. Just wondering what could possibly be wrong with it. Any ideas? Thanks,

RE: Brake Light Problem

Sorry but your ? is confusing. How do you know it illuminates if the brakes arent acknowledging it. Are you lighting the brake light with a power probe? or ......

Teeks, it sounds like an earthing problem, or a dodgy fuse.....?
Can't be BOTH brake switches out at once - surely not ?

Yer Teeks...I am still trying to figure out the actual question too mate ?? hmm??

I agree with Pete ...

The chances of both switches have an issue at the same time ...1000,000 to 1..

My money is on a fuse of a short at the tail light... [:-] ( after/beyond both the switches wiring )

RE: Brake Light Problem

welcome to the forum,

I think I read another post from you and said you bike was tipped over correct? Also your main fuse was blown after you saw some sparks? I would start with the fuse and then start looking at wiring..

also,just a tip to help everyone out, if you include more details about your situation, we can help diagnosis the problem easier..
