Urgent: Brake light stays on, no rear blinkers
We are on a ride through Wyoming, Montana and Canada this week and we have an issue.
2010 Street Glide. Rear brake light stays on, blinkers only work in the front.
The only issue recently was a bad battery that we tried to charge and frankly, just ended up cooking it before replacing it with a new battery.
We will make it up to Glacier Harley Davison on Monday, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas and maybe we can self diagnose.

Bradleys, I'll take a stab at it.
The brake light is lit by either the right brake lever or the right brake pedal. If it were me, I'd disconnect one of those switches and see if the light goes out. If no change, reconnect and disconnect the other one. If the light still stays on, I don't know. If one of those disconnects extinguishes the light then fix or replace that faulty switch.
Good luck!
