Added LED brake light/turn signal, and intermittent brake lights staying on issue
So, I bought LED brake light/turn signal bar and installed them today. After installing, I thought there was an issue with my new LED, since the brake lights staying on when I activated the brake with the front handle. Ugh, Charlie Brown. I disconnected the new LED brake light and the problem didn't go away. I searched the internet and found that HD has an issue with the brake light switch going bad, or the alignment of the switch. I think the problem is in the switch, since I can wiggle the handle and it goes out eventually.
Does anyone know what the brake light switch part number is for my 2018 HD Fat Boy FLFBS? I search HD webpage and they don't list the part for me to look up a part number so that I can order a replacement one.
Here are a couple pictures of before with the reflector removed, then LED installed, and then what is looks like with left turn signal going:
