Brake light help (Read 185 times)

savageclay Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 93 South Carolina	Brake light help 11/23/08 at 09:04:30 There are two wires that come from the brake light switch. How are these connected? I imagine one has to be a hot and the other goes to the brake light but i can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas and which wire goes to what? Thanks all!

If both are good, trace the wires. If it's the lever, does the pedal work? Or visa versa?

My taild light comes on and stays on as it should but the two wires are not connected that come from the brake pedal switch. I am trying to fighure out how they should be connected. Thanks!

According to the wiring diagram I have, there is an orange wire that carries +12V from the key switch to several places, one of which is the front brake switch and another is the rear brake switch. Operating either switch passes that +12V to a White/BlackTrace wire which goes to the brake lamp. The common side of the brake lamp is a Balck/WhiteTrace wire that connects to the negative/ground side of the battery.

All i had to do to fix my issue was spray the rear brake switch with kontakt cleaner, and work the switch a few times. Your problem may not be so simple. good luck! ~Pip Jones

I wired it up and it didnt work so I am going to try cleaning the switch and/or replacing it if need be. I just wish I could find a color schematics for the wire. What goes to the orange one and what goes to the black one. We'll see!

It takes a while to get it working properly!

orange is power to the switches,blk/w goes to the bulb..either side of the switches doesnt matter
does brake work with front sw??
have you replaced the bulb you can have tail light and no brake lite,2 seperate filiments...
