Hi all,

My front brake light switch is 'sticking' for want of a better word.
We've had a metric sh*t-tonne of rain down here recently, and since then the brake light is stuck on solid.

It's definitely the front brake switch - sometimes when the lever is squeezed tight then released the light will go out - only to come on later.
Could be a short caused by the wet - or so my mechanic friend who's had a look tells me. He's had it to bits, looked the switch over and it looks sound - but as it's a sealed unit it is difficult to check.

Anyone had this before? need to check if it's a known issue or something I can fix before I order a replacement switch.


Cheers all,

Rob :beerjug:
 
I had same problem with my 2002 BMW R1150GS i removed the cover from underneath (2 screws) sprayed with WD40 and it worked sound until i screwed back on the cover so i left it off as it was raining at the time, still not got back to putting it back on 2 months later!
