Brake light stays "on"
Hey all,
Im was riding last night, and my buddy noticed that my rear brake light always stays bright, like im braking, even when Im not braking.
2006 Heritage Softail...
Time for a new bulb or something else?
Cheers.

It's probably the front one though, just cause it's a PITA and seems a little cheaper (made) to me.

front plunger...id bet on it.. squeeze the front brake and peek your head under the lever and manually push the switch in...if the brake light goes out than you need to tinker with your switch housing a little bit man i had the same problem...gl

The switch on the front brake (the little plunger deal) is very easy to brake. Happened to me changing bars. I finally learned how to avoid breaking the darn thing when taking it off.

Yes it is... this is probably your problem. I was switching out some of my buttons and my grips, and just broke mine- going to take it into the dealer in a few minutes in fact. $60 part, fwiw (Rocker).
