Default lighting issue

hey to all i knownthis may have probably been answered butbi couldnt quite find the answer i was looking for .
today i fitted the original style license plate .
pain in the hole lol
but afterwards i spotted the break lights were stuck on googled it most like a stuck switch on front break lever assembly that was grand fiddled with it seemed fine them went for a spin my missus was behind me in car with kids she said my indicator was on but not flashing only on the right side came home and check diagnostic said same code as before b2262.
it threw that code beforehand also but didnt have the indicator on is this all switch related or do i have another issue any info i only have owners manual waiting on service manual .

I'm guessing by the code that this is a 2013 and newer bike, so this would be a problem in the right switch module which would need to be replaced. Those years have had the front brake switch redesigned so that it is not a separate switch with a nipple at the end that gets broken off, this one is integrated into the switch module and is a discrete switch. The modules go bad and cause any number of issues including the one you are experiencing.

sorted it lads the code it threw was a stuck switch so i investigated that cleaned both pistons inside the lever housing the brake cylinder piston was filthy .
the indicator being on was due to some frayed wires that had not been in the last harness clip inside fender .
i disconnected it pulled the connection as far back as i could get it and took apart sub fram on rear right took apart indicator to get as much wire out as i could cut back the housing a bit re wrapped it taped it up and all sorted beats buying a new indicator thanks for your help lads

after i cut back housing it had rubbed off wheel

sexy license plate hahaha all good now and learned how to maintain the switches too
