But the foot pedal does? Brakes work fine but lights activating is not. I do have the Back off L E D's installed and am in need of changing them out as some has burned out or not working anymore both yellow directional, and red flashing stop. Not sure if that is the source of problem but I have new one to install anyhow.
any ideas ??

Easy enough to check conductivity at the switch!

Remove the handlebar switch. You'll find a small hole in it. Spray some contact cleaner in it and work the switch. Let dry and spray some TefLube in it and reinstall. It'll work fine.

Had same prob, same equipment. Switch was bad, worked on it but I didnt think it was 100 % so I purchased a new one. Just my 2 cents. G/L

Yep, I agree.. It should be just the handlebar switch.. A good cleaning should allow it to start passing electrons again..

A new micro switch is all of 10$ on FleaBay.
Just replaced mine a few months back.

Feel like an idiot! checked what it was going to take to do the cleaning of switch? Noticed a wire had come off the switch end. Put it back on everything is back to normal. Don't know how that was pulled loose as it felt pretty snug going back together. But it is fixed. thanks for the help.
