the more i stare at my bars...the more i hate the fvcking rattle can paint job. taking it all apart and dropping the bars off for powdercoat. hope to have it back together next week sometime. damn it! should have just done that from the start and i'd prolly be riding this wknd.
so i messed with the switch...when i turn the key the lights light up as if im hittin the brakes (front or back). if i press the switch on the front brake control pod in with my finger the lights get dim so they kind of seem like they're operating in reverse order. if i hit the rear brake i barely see the rear lights get any brighter. wierd but i'm almost convinced its that front brake switch. i did reseat the switch, it was crooked but i'll have to wait and see i guess when i hook it back up. stupid ****...
The switch is operating correctly. When the lever is not engaged it pushed the button in making it dim. When the lever is engaged it moves away from the switch and it gets bright. Sounds like its not seated correctly. After tearing down my controls a few times I had the same problem. I was able to shim up with one small piece of electric tape to make it make contact. That was all it took. It was like a hair out of position.
^^^oh cool, i actually thought about that after i posted, that maybe it was acting like it should (exactly how you explained). guess i'll find out when i get my bars back. i just might try and run the cables internal too. we'll see. thanks HERE!
