Default Stuck Brake Light

I can't get my brake light to go out on 07 Road Glide. Changed front switch after it quit working. Light won't go out even after pulling relay. Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome from Illinois. Did you have a spacer in it when you changed it? Do a search as this has happened a few times here.

Welcome to the forum. Have you looked at the rear switch? Also does it have ABS?

Question Stuck Brake Light

I cut the wires to the front switch and the light stayed on. I unplugged the rear switch and the light stayed on. I unplugged the brake relay and the light stayed on. It seems like a short but I got the front switch working for a little while and then it went to continually on. Why would unplugging the relay not kill the power going to the light?

I have the adapter that uses all three rear lights for brake lights and all three come on and won't go off. The turn signals won't flash either.
