Default 2014 HD SGS Brake Light Problem

I have a 2014 Street Glide Special and the tribar light (on the rear fender) is working fine but the bullet lights (connected to the tribar) don’t light up when I engage the brakes. The tribar has running lights and gets brighter when I engage the brakes but not the bullet lights. The bullet lights have the running lights and the turn signals all working fine but they don’t get brighter when I engage the brakes. What could be the problem?

Any other lighting add-ons? Such as bag lights or modules? Just trying to get all the info.

if there is, try unplugging and returning to stock temporarily to see if they work without additional things plugged in.

the rears should be a dual filament bulb. Have you checked to make sure one of the two filaments aren’t broken or burnt out? 1157 bulbs.

pop off the left side cover and open up the fuse box and see if there is a fuse for the break lights that might be blown.

just some ideas. Good luck to ya.

I don’t have any extra lights or attachments. It’s all stock. I already checked the fuses and replaced the 1157 bulbs and still nothing.

If the brake lights work on the tribar,I don't think it's stock for that bike.

check the plug connections under the seat to make sure something isnt partially plugged in and not making good contact.

Check the wiring under the fender and make sure it isn't damaged.
