SOURCE: 1982 maxim no turn signals no break light

Does the brake light work with the front brake lever. Sounds like wrong type of bulbs in there or bad turn signal flasher...Do the lights light up when you hit the switch and just stay lit...Also i can tell you that mine had to have the bike running in order to create enough amps to even make the flasher trip. I eventually put bigger bulds in each turn signal to draw more so they work with it running or not. It had 2156 bulbs in and i put 2157. Oh the flasher unit is under the fuel tank.

Start with a new brake\tail bulb, then try unplugging the front brake switch on the handle bars , then try unplugging the rear brake switch. one of these options should locate a problem

SOURCE: tail light doesn't work, but rear brake light is

try a new bulb they have two separate filaments in them and one can burn out and leave the other working fine.
take the old bulb out and get one with the exact same numbers which will be 12v 21\5 or similar
the higher number 21 is the brake wattage and the lower 5 is the tail light wattage

My tail lights want work bulbs are good fuses are good

Do the front park lights work? when you say tail lights i expect you mean your park lights, and that your turn signakls and brake lights work ok? A common problem with the infinitys lies in the multi function switch if yours is loacted in your steering colume. if your light switch is located in dash, or console and your front lights work check ground at rear light harness, located in trunk/hatch.

Changing rear tail light bulbs The rear brake lights are not working, but the brake light on the wing is.Just recently had work done and evap. canister which is located under the right rear fender well was...

First just check the bulbs. You gain access to the bulbs from inside the trunk area, pull back any carpet in the way, the holder/socket should pop out with a quarter turn to get to the bulbs.

Problem with rear tail light/brake light

Resolution Below -

Okay, I had the same problem...My 04 Suzuki DR200SE tail light /brake light is not working. Brake lights works in park mode not in ON with engine running or not. Tail light not in either mode.

Volt meter shows the socket is working correctly, fuses are good. I even adjusted the pressure switch for the rear brake application. MOM shows nothing positive to help me trouble shoot and neither does the internet. Lots of people with same issue, but I'm not seeing any resolution.

I'm posting the resolution as lots have had this issue, but no one has posted how they fixed it. It's the ground wire inside the tail section. Which is why the volt meter (which is grounded) shows the socket is good. You'll have the pull the tail section and note the ground wire has either broken off, or the wire has sucked up inside the insulation. You'll need to strip insulation, get to good wire and reattach it. I'd even solder it to keep it solid. Hope this helps someone else!!
