Honda elite 50 brake light problem

Post by SergioJimenez2002 »

So I bought myself a '88 Honda elite 50 and I got it running good but now my brake light just stopped working after I took the front off to install some mirrors. There is some power going to the harness but nothing happens when I pull the brakes.

Remove the cover again and check ALL the bullet-style connectors to make sure you don't have any loose. If that does not fix it then check the taillight bulb by removing the red taillight cover and inspect.

My guess is that you've broken the wire connection at the brake light switch on one of the brake levers.
