Brake lights stay on.
'15 Tri-Glide. Started with cruise not working. Came on but wouldn't engage. Then Security light came on and stayed on. Then check engine light came on. Stopped for a while and engine light went off.Left for the 40 mile ride home stopped for gas. Cranked up and engine light went out and stayed out. Got on dirt road to home. Drove 5 miles on bumpy road and about the time I got home the security light went off. Brake lights are still on.

The front will also stick sometimes. You can usually tell that by the play in the lever.

Check if your front brake lever returns fully after applying the brakes. If not, it will actuate the brake light switch.
If so you need to rebuild the master cylinder, easy job.

A further possibility, if your bike has conventional bulbs, is that the rear/brake light bulb has failed. I have had a couple where one of the filaments has blown and shorted to the other one, leaving them both glowing. So check that first!
