My brake light is stuck on, in park or on the move. I changed front pads before this phenomena began. I tried that spring adjust mechanism under the right side of the seat to no avail. How would I know if a switch was stuck? Should I redo the pad job? Thank you.

Front brake switch is attached to the lever on the bars. You adjusted the rear one I think.....

Probably just stuck, Daniel. Spray some Q20 on it and see if it helps. It''s part no 1

Hi Daniel,

I had the same problem, I changed the rear brake pads and for some reason the stop light kept lit, then I move a little lever on the rear brake pedal (kinda of loosing it a bit) and the light went to normal, not sure if these are your simptoms.

Saludos,
Luis

disconnect the front wires to check that switch than do the same to the rear and if they are still on check the globes. remove one at a time. maybe the filaments are on the park light.
