Default Rear brake pressure switch????
I have a 2006 Custom. Has anyone else had a problem with the rear brake pressure switch going out. My 3rd switch went out yesterday. First 2 were fixed under warranty, dealer had to email Harley yesterday to see if they are covering it. Warranty went out 2 months ago. Could there be a greater problem than just a couple bad switches, or should I just get an Accel switch instead of Harley. Accel is half the cost.
Thanks for any useful replies.

Switch or maybe wiring instead? Fourth times a charm. Stay out of the pressure wash.
