Default New member with bike problems
I'm new to the HD Forum. I have a 2004 Heritage Softail Classic with Python pipes,and cruise control by Bradcon. I added the brake light kit about a year ago, but when I couldn't start the bike this morning I pulled the seat and noticed the brake processor melted. I got on here to see if anyone else has run into this.

Sounds like you have a wire grounded. A dead short some where.
