2005 Road King Brake light issue
I know the issues with the brake light being stuck due to a broken brake switch under the lever. I also know the issue with the rear brake sensor. My issue is my brake light wont turn on when either brake is applied. When I apply either brake I hear an audible click from what Im guessing is the brake solenoid. The tail light / brake light is a two stage LED light and turns on but doesnt get brighter when the brakes are applied. Do I need to order a new LED? Or is there a simpler way to check the system. I did change my bars and levers but I was careful not to brake the front switch. Not saying it didnt happen but I would think if the switch was broken I wouldnt hear the solenoid actuate.

Use a meter, test light, etc to check if youre getting power to the brake light when the brakes are applied.
If you are, the problem is the bulb or ground.
If you arent, chech upstream. Bad relay, broken switches, etc.
