Default BReakout-New Speedo, No Brake lights?
I just installed a new speedo/tach (pn: 70900100B) on my '13 Breakout. The ECU data transferred and the speedo paired itself to the bike correctly. Everything is working except the brake lights.

Tail lights are on, they just wont go to bright when the brake is applied. I have checked all connections and done everything I know.....I am stumped. Any ideas out there?

Check your buld. It might look fine, when in fact it isn't.

I installed one on mine with 0 issues. My part number does not have the B at the end though. Not sure if that would cause your problem. Good luck.

I would unplug the new speedo and see if the brake lights work then.I know for a fact the brake lights should work just fine without the speedo.

The mystery is solved! The installation of the speedo some how reset the ECM to operate the tail light as run and turn only, instead of run, turn, brake. The dealership reset
