Front Brake light switch is bad. I can't get throttle control off to get to the switch. Have keryakon grips. On 03 FLHRI

 

Is there a question in there somewhere? Collapse and unhook throttle cables from the grip and lift it up and slide it out. There is a groove that sits in the housing.

 

OP, guessing you don't have manual.

removing the controls without a shim ( as spec'd in manual) will break the switch.

some of the guys here have been able to fix the switch, you could search for those posts.

I think this is what you're looking for. I copied the pertinent sections from the installation instructions for my iso-grips.

"Roll or slide the rubber cable adjustment covers back so the adjusters are exposed. Make a reference mark on each section of exposed threads, or at least make a mental note of how much thread is exposed on each adjuster This will be helpful when you re-adjust the cables. Using your 3/8" and 10mm open-end wrench loosen the lock nut on the adjuster and collapse it (shorten the cable housing) as far as you can- this provides maximum cable slack.

See PIC2. Rotate the cable so it points directly away from the throttle sleeve and slide the cables out of the sleeve. (Careful, don't lose the small brass ferrules on the cable ends - they're not attached.)"

Those ferrules are very easily launched into oblivion.

Like mkguitar mentioned, a shim like the female end of a nylon tie wrap placed between the brake lever and housing prior to disassembling would save the switch (for future reference).
