Posted February 22, 200817 yr When I pull the front brake level the back light comes on, but when I depress the rear brake the light does not come on at all. I've pulled up the rubber cover where the 2 wires come down and connect on the plastic thingy, placed a key to make a bridge to so spk - then the light will come on and stay on. How could I rectify the problem please, anyone????
February 23, 200817 yr sounds like the switch(the plastic thingy)either needs adjusting, cleaning or replacing.
February 23, 200817 yr A good clean - all of 10 minutes work - with a rag and some grease and WD-40. Unit should come apart easily, although watch out as some contain a spring inside which can fly across the room. Rag and WD-40 can wipe off the crud that is causing a bad connection, a little bit of grease can help the metal rod at the bottom slide a lot more freely and Bob's your mothers' brother.
