Default Brake Light Issues.....HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

I've read on here that the 09 Street Glide does and does not have a brake light. I have a Tail light on my bike, but it's not acting like a brake light. Instead the turn signals are acting as the break lights. What is going on? Can someone PLEASE help me. Have an early morning ride planned and need this fixed now. thanks in advance.

Did you purchase the bike new or used?

The 09's have the brake light along with the signal lights. From what your describing you may have an Aux Brake-Tail-Turn Conversion kit installed on the bike and your brake light bulb in your brake light has a burnt out element on the brake side thus needing a new bulb.

Check your brake light bulb.

Are your rear turn signal lenses red? If so, you probably have the run/brake/turn kit installed and I agree with karbar99 and Jrsess.
