Brake light.
 

So the other day I wanted to see how bright the led bulb for my brake light was at night that's when I noticed it wasn't working properly. The foot brake works fine but the hand brake would just flicker. I pushed on the contacts and it started working but the next day I noticed it was working intermittently so I tried to squeeze the connections with a pair of needle nose. It seemed to work until I noticed today it is still having a connection problem. It's scary to rely on the foot brake for brake lights or that they may not really be on. Any suggestions on how to keep the conection. P.s. it uses the standard quick connect spade connectors.

solder and heat shrink tubing? can you post a pic?? is it the two connectors next to the kill switch??

Check the connection for continuity on the master cylendar. Set the multimeter to check resistance (I think) with the beep turned on. Put one probe on each pole and press the brake. If you hear a beep it's not the switch.

Thats a good idea to eliminate one possibility. I will check tomorrow but I'm fairly certain I'm just not always making a good conection on the wires to the poles.

cut off the factory crap crimps and crimp on a good quality crimp from an autoparts store... I had a similar issue, but it was the spade on my coil.... a bit more interesting of an issue to have....LOL

I ended up doing this problem seems to be solved and it was not the switch.

Glad to hear that
