Default 99 fatboy no brake light please help

So I just realized I don't have brake lights when I squeeze the front lever or rear pedal. The bulb is good and I do have a tail light. I'm supposed to have a brake light correct? Many thanks Henry

IF you have a run/brake turn module try taking that off and see if that makes a difference. I had the same problem until I got rid of that unit.

I would check the wiring under the rear fender that leads from the ECM to the taillight next. And your rear brake relay is an easy check too.
