#7042 RockyBass (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 20 Help with Dead Brake Light 5 Years, 10 Months ago   Hey guys, I'm going on a weekend trip and noticed yesterday that my brake light does not work. I have the J&K Starline Tombstone and it worked fine until last week. I checked the bulb (1157) and it looked fine. I replaced it anyway, and still, no brake light, while the taillight works fine. This is with both the front and rear break. I checked the fuses under the left side cover... all good. Is there an in-line fuse somewhere? I think it might have shorted out since I noticed that the cluster of wires under the rear fender came loose and rubbed on the wheel a little. There are 2 wires that have had the plastic cover burnt off, leaving the copper wires exposed. HELP!

Did you repair all the wires you found damaged?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #7046 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Help with Dead Brake Light 5 Years, 10 Months ago   Nothing complicated for the brakes. Bulb ... checked Fuse ... checked Now all that's left if to check the connector to see if it's unplugged. Then do a continuity test between the connector at the seat and the one under the fender. Then between the connector under the fender and the bulb socket. Do this for each wire.

We're leaving Friday morning, and I have NO time!!! Thanks Doc!

Did you repair all the wires you found damaged? No, not yet. I just found this out yesterday afternoon and didn't have time to fiddle with it much. I will fix them, but like said, the actual wires (copper) were ok, it is just the outside plastic that was peeled off. R   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
