Default Brake Switch Recall Done

I took my 09 Road King to the Harley Dealer and they did the rear brake light Recall that day. Took about a half hour. No charge. Guess they wern't busy.
Of course they tried to say I needed other stuff.
I replaced my rear breakes and the switch quit and the anti-lock disabled when I finished. I paid 44 bucks for the analyzer code to tell me nothing. Now I'm without anti-lock. Not so bad. Never had them before.
Anyone know of a scan/reset tool that's not expensive? I'd like to look deeper into the anti-lock failure.

Have you checked your DTC codes and do you have an electrical manual for your bike? That should be your first step. IMHO

Great to hear that your brakes were fine after they got done. Too many to count, all reporting how a dealer screwed-up their brake bleeds.

I gotta get my switch done too, but have been avoiding the inevitable. I guess I am trying to find out too whether or not they HAVE to even mess with brake fluid to change this switch. (my '09 SG, no anti-lock brakes).

See ya soon Chuck!

Yep, Paul. They have to open the system to change the switch and are supposed to attach the Digital Technician during the process. Have you seen a copy of the recall? I can find it if you want a copy. Better, here is a link:

Got mine scheduled for tomorrow! Figured it would be a good idea to get'r done before the rally.
