just put the ignition switch back on to check. it takes a second to put it off and on. When I have to remove mine i always put the ignition switch back on so I can move the bars around and so I don't have to disconnect the battery.

 

Welcome to the ( forgot to put the shim in club).

Yup, it's official.....I've joined the broken switch club . Got the inner back on today, connected everything else and sho'nuf brake light stays on.

With this being said, what does it take to repair this debacle? Is it a matter of screwing in a new plunger, soldering new wire end on? Need some help here fellas.

 

It takes a $50 new switch and follow the manual.

I have done this with great success
Instead of replacing the switch assy go to the Hardware store and get a 1/4 long small dia. allen screw...No head just the allen wrench portion and screw the allen screw into the boot assy...the allen will contact the remainder of the plunger while protruding from the boot assy and your problems will be fixed for the price of a allen screw...

Your talking about a set screw. Good idea!, and definitly worth a try.

 

welcome to the "man, am I a dumba$$" club. There will be many events to follow. Remember, you still got away a lot cheaper than paying the dealer to do it.

 

recalled my post

 

Went to Home Depot yesterday and got a set screw, figured what do I have to lose. Working like a charm now.

Thanks TBH!!

 

Set Screw
Yes thats what I was looking for earlier...Old Timers kicking in again...
The procedure worked for me a couple years or so ago and glad it worked again for someone else...
Glad to be of help
I would venture to say that even if you have another Brain fart you'll find that the switch will stand up to alot more then it previously did...
