Brake light

Post by novs86 »

Tail light lights up when the key is turned . The signals work why will the brake light not work?

Cables seem to be seated correctly.

What should I check?

I currently cannot start the scoot because it is not completly assembled.

Does it have to be running for the brake light to work?

Or does the key just need to be turned. I can't remember please help me out.

The signal lights are on a completely different circuit and not to be confused with the brake/taillight. The bulb is either an 1157 or very similar. Two filament. Brake filament is probably burned out.

Bulb was fine.

One of my wires completely rusted off causing issue. It looked and was connected but it was broken from rust.

d*** 23 year old wiring! :lol:
