brake lights?
Hey guys quick question. I have a bad dad rear fender with flush mount lights on my 2012 sg. It uses a badlands load equalizer. Ive been runnin it for about 2 months without and issue, this mornin when i started the bike and walked to the back of it. My lights were fine then a couple seconds later i noticed the brake lights were stuck on. Any suggestions on this? Possibly the load equalizer? The cruise control works just fine and shuts off when i tap the brakes so wouldnt that rule out the brake switches?

Could be one of your brake light switches has stuck on or developed a fault, or a wiring issue. Most electrical problems like this are actually mechanical - in other words something pretty obvious (when found!) and easy to fix.

Im thinkin it may be the load equalizer. I didnt get a chance to call bad dad today to talk to them. But its the only thing i can come up with because my cruise control works which should rule out the brake switches. when i squeeze the brake lever i can here a clicking which makes me think that the flasher relay or whatever is working correctly. My turn signals work right. its just the break lights are stuck on. So i think the load equalizer has to be messed up and is sending to much power into the lights. Does this sound like a logical theory? Or am i skippin over somethin else that i should look at? if i had a wiring diagram of which color wire was to function what i would be better able to track the source of the problem

You could be right, however do the really simple checks first! It is dead easy to disconnect each brake light switch, one at a time, to see if the brake light goes out. There is a wiring diagram in your factory service manual - if you don't have one now would be a good time to......
