09 FLHX Street Glide

Ok.. I noticed the last time I rode my cruise stopped working. I've been traveling so I was just able to get back out to check the bike the other day. Well, then the security wouldn't disengage, but a battery change to the key fob seemed to solve that issue.

Then... I noticed that my break light was stuck on. To the best of my knowledge, it was not before, when I first noticed the cruise not working, since that would deactivate the cruise I assume. Took seat off, checked wiring, check fuse panel. Tried turning and/or cranking the bike on and off to see if something worked. Nothing!

I did notice while leaning down at the fuse panel, and when I turned the ignition switch on, I could hear the brake relay clicking or almost like it was trying to engage and disengage at the same time. I would think if the relay was bad, I wouldn't hear anything, since it should be stuck in an open or closed position.

I've not changed any wiring, no handle bar changes, etc... just all of a sudden this started!

Any ideas.... anyone?????

 

Sounds like a brake switch problem.

 

Had the same problem on my 09SG. Rear brake switch recall. HD replaced rear brake switch which stayed on causing cruise control to not engage, also affects ABS. Once the switch was changed out everything was good.

 

i had the same problem on my 2008 ultra. i unplugged the rear brake light switch (2 wires) and the light went out. that told me was the rear switch. then the brake light didnt work at all so i pulled the main fuse for few seconds and put it back in. the front lever activated the brake light so i was able to ride until i got it repaired. 09 had a recall and dealer will fix it free of charge. since mine was a 08 i picked one up from a auto part store for 9 whole dollars.
good luck

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's the rear brake light switch. There was a recall on 2009 and up.

 

Your rear brake switch down by your right floorboard has malfunctioned. The MOCO has issued a safety recall about a year ago for your model and year bike. Slip into most any dealer and they can replace it for you. Takes about 20-30 minutes. No charge for replacement.

That switch never goes out the dealer told me.

 

I also had the same issue... changed the rear brake light switch located next to the right footboard...

 

Maybe a brake switch problem.
