NObrake lights!!!??
07 ultra classic, 20k miles, installed LED rear turn signals months ago, no problem. Just installed a BADLANDS run,turn, brake module, no problem for a few miles. Then I realized I didn't have a horn or cruise, found the brake lights ON all the time. (both the lower and the ones in the tour pack). Checked fuse, GOOD, removed Badlands module, no change, checked rear brake switch with an ohm meter, no change when brake pedal applied, (should be normally open I believe, this is showing always closed), crossed the wires connected to brake switch with IGN on, NO brake lights. Relay seems good as I swapped it with the starter relay and that's good, still no brake lights.
stumped!!!
Any thoughts from the guru's out here?
Thanks!!

Did it set any codes? I lost both my brakes lites and cruise. It set a code and ended up being the rear brake switch. I unplugged on wire to the switch and the front activated the brake lites and cruise started working again. Changed the rear brake switch and all is good again.

sounds if the brake light switch is stuck on , start at the rear , just unplug it , try brakes lights from front brake if you got brake light then you have a bad rear switch , if still no brake lights do the same for front , disconnect it and try back brake to see if you have lights

Okay....well I found out with the manual that the ACCESSORY fuse is also connected to the brake system........changed it out and found out that the brake switch is stuck in the ON position, changed out fuse and brake switch and it looks good but now the regular brake bulb is not lighting......the ones in the tour pack light work......checked the bulb on a meter and it checks out ok.....gonna change that out tomorrow and see what happens.......
leaving on a 2000 miler Monday morning........don't need any hiccups........
thanks for all the help guys!!
