Default Need help! Integrated LED taillights brake light staying on!

Looked at lots of other forums and everything seems to be wired right. I did drop the bike when I first got it and broke the brake handle so that is off at the moment. Could my brake light be staying on because my brake handle isn't on?

Yes. The lever needs to be on to put the switch in the off position.

When you dropped the bike maybe you broke the very tip of the brake light switch. I believe it’s in a separate small housing on the inside of the lever.

Try pulling the leads off the brake light switch and then turning the ignition on to see if the brake light is still stuck on. IF it goes out that way, then it is in the front brake switch/lever assembly somewhere (could even be a bad brake light switch .... maybe damaged when dropped?).

If none of that does anything, check the rear brake switch.... it is usually attached to brake pedal with spring and perhaps just needs to be adjusted... there is a screw type adjuster.
