Stop-light working intermittently

[berto]

Hi Everybody.
Was checking the brake lights before riding and discovered: they not always work.  Not the brake switches at the lever or pedal as the Brake-light either works with both or not at all.  ?!?!?
Any suggestion ??  Is there a relay possibly responsible ??
   Thank you

Dont think it would be a relay. Loose wire or bad ground somewhere would be my guess. Also try a new bulb.  Easy stuff first.

Happened to me. The fix was to squeeze the switch terminals with needle nose pliers.

My front brake handle required a new switch recently.

The foot brake, needed adjustment to make it work.

That was all last year. This year, starting to ride again, I had the rear light not working. Turned out it was the foot brake pedal not coming back, and the light was on all the time. Spray lube and worked it a lot, and it's not sticking on any longer. Something I'll need to inspect again after it's winter storage.

Found-it.   Had to crawl under the rear fender to see the green/yellow lead had come loose, erase fix
