Brake light blues...

(1/2) > >>

Athame57:
My brake light works fine from the pedal but it is failing from the handlebar. I haven't found an obvious connection issue yet and wondered if it is hydraulic. I've bled the brakes and still it fails. Oddly, if left undisturbed a while the light functions for one squeeze of the lever and stops working again. The hydraulic switch is only two yeas old.

Your magic worked! OK so a new switch is needed. I hope the next one lasts a bit longer.  ;D
