Honda Rebel brake light stays on all the time?

Question

Brake light does not dim or brighten when I let off or apply the brakes. The brake light is staying bright (not dim like running light would be) what would cause this?

Answer 1

One of the brake light switches is stuck on.

Most likely the rear.

At the back of the rear brake pedal is a long spring.

The spring attaches to the brake light switch.

Either the switch needs to be adjusted - turn the big plastic nut to adjust.

OR the rod that gets pulled out of the switch is not retracting (bent).

Locate the wires of the switch and unplug them - with the key on, the brake light should go off.

Otherwise the front brake light switch may be at fault - you have to remove the headlight to unplug the switch.

Answer 2

roll it in the river also

Answer 3

Check the adjustment  on your rear brake pedal. There needs to  be some free play there. THey usually get out of adjustment when adjusting the chain. If you have a hand book it will explain it to you.
