Rear running/brake lights failing
Written by alfr4d on 7/7/2011 at 03:40 am

Ron, I have been going into this again. These are the light bulbs: 12v 32/2cp
(27/7w) tail lights are 7W and stop lights are 27w. The wattage is normally not
mentioned. Certainly the tail won't work after braking a couple of times when
there is only one contact connecting two in the socket. The light from the rear
brake can be slow in response due to the switch so I figure you tested the brake
with the foot and much shorter as you do in traffic.

This is the function chart for the fuses, there should be trouble with many
smaller lights including the horn if it is not the tail and brake lights itself.

F Parking 10A B. (Brown wire) ('89 model only) "loose it!"
a Head 10A C. (Black-Red wire)
n Turn Tail-Stop Meters Dash Horn 15A D. (Black-Brown wire)
m Ignition Fuel 10A E. (Black wire)

two contacts at the underside. Many tail/brake lights being sold only have one
filament. A motorbike will not loose all its light at the same time, mostly
having only one glass. The middle light has nothing to do with braking. Alfred

All fuses check out. Any help is great. Cant really see going down the highway
with no active brake lights and am now running out of time and ideas.
