BGM led rear brake light...

[Timbo]

Can I assume that if the brake light doesn't work but the light does then the problem is with the brake switch?

[Daggs]

You can assume that .............. But why not touch the rear light power onto the brakle light connection and rule out the LED board?

Steady on!

Thanks, yes I did this and it lit up which made me think it was the switch but wanted a second opinion... ....not much to go wrong in the switch I guess, but it does look ok...

Check the connections on the back of the switch are sound first

Now with the rear light connected normally, remove the two wires from the brake switch and touch them together (with engine running) If the brake light comes on. It's the switch. Ta-da

[Timbo]

Did that thanks and they do so ordered a new switch...

check the wires to the board.. i've had a couple of these rattle themselves to bits, the solder is a bit thin so had to carefully redo

[Timbo]

Thanks, first thing I looked at and they're ok..

[Timbo]

New switch and all is well......my assumptions were correct..... .......but always worth asking for other opinions........
