Brake Light stays on

[Foot]

Got off my bike last night after a ride and noticed that my brake light and hpyerlites were still on. I did a quick check to make sure that neither if the two brake levers were not hung, and they were not. It was too late last night to really start looking for a problem. I will look at the bike today after work.

 

Does anyone have a idea where I need to start looking for a problem?

Check your rear brake light switch. Mine did the same thing a couple of times. The switch needed an adjustment.

Listen for the barely audible click sound as you squeeze the front brake lever, then listen for the same thing as you depress the foot brake lever. Happened to me on the front brake lever - I manually adjusted the distance on the spring-switch. No problems since. The rear brake has an adjustment bolt with locking nut. Good luck. Ron

I hear the click on the front brake switch but not the back. Looks like it is going to be a bugger to get to.

Naw. Drop the brake pedal out of the way first. The switch is right there.
