brakelight only comes on when brakes are held

when i turn the key, start up scooter etc... the brakelight is continuously off, unless i press the brake lever. A while ago, scoot was running great and the brakelight would be on, and would become brighter when i held the lever. Now it only comes on with the lever held. Anyone have any ideas?

do your other lights dim when you hit the breaks?

ok the light gets brigter because of a 2 filament light bulb, im guassin gu only have a 1 filament in therem or maby you second filament has blown on ur original light, or make sure that the tail light wires are connected right, green to green brown to brown black and green to black and green ( think i got the colors right )

could be a dead cell in your battery, or a bad battery. try charging it or getting a new one.

yeah that was my first guess, too, i think i'll have to do that. i'm lazy, too lazy to look in the serv. man. anyone know the bulb specs and if i can pick one up at an advanced auto or something
