Unhappy Where is the rear brake light switch? FLHT

I have an 06 Flht and the brake light fuse keeps blowing out. I was told to check the rear brake switch. Know I need to know where it is? Thanks, David

Righthand side, below the transmission cover, behind the exhaust. Right next to the lower frame rail. Just going from memory, but that's where to look.

No it's real easy. Go to the Harley store and get a new one. They're pretty cheap, and it will help you to identify what you're looking for.
Once you find it (on a cold bike), you unplug the wires (there may only be one, but I'm pretty sure there are two), needlenose pliers may help.
Then you just unscrew the old one with whatever fit on it, including pliers or a wrench. Then thread in the new one by hand, using a little blue locktite low on the threads so none goes inside the brake line area, and snug it up with a wrench.
Had to change two in 60,000 kms.
good luck.
