Brake light switch
I appreciate if someone can help me. I changed the hand controls to a 1993 harley flhs for a new one.
The brake light switch that the motorcycle had came on, the circuit is on and the light turn on when I pressed the brake.
The new handlebar control, the switch works in inverse position and the circuit turn off someone knows how I can solve it, that the switch turns on when I press and that it turns off when I release it
Thanks

The switch closes the circuit (turning the light on) when the button is extended, the switch opens the circuit when the button is pressed in,
When the switch is mounted in the controls, the brake lever will allow the button to extend when the lever is pulled in.

super +1 mr. dan
however, if these controls are used and the source is unknown: the switch should be a normally closed switch so if you remove the lever pin so the switch is in its natural state and ohm the wires, it should show continuity, if not, the switch is a normally open switch that some one installed.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!
