SOURCE: tail light stays on no difference when you step on brake

tail light should be on always; if brake light isn't working look at switches- front or rear m/c. front is most common culprit

SOURCE: I have a 200 heritage softail classic the brake

If you disconnected the pressure switch for the rear brake and the light is still on, your deduction of a bad front brake light switch is right on. There is nothing else on the bike that would make the rear brake light come on. If you've moved handlebar switch housing or the master cylinder, make sure that they are positioned snugl against each other. Additonally, I've been reading where wear in the lever and pivot pin combine to make the switch not work. Replacing the lever and pivot pin may resolve the problem. To test, move the front master cylinder away from the switch housing and manually operate the switch to see if the switch is or is not working correctly.

Good Luck

SOURCE: where is the brake light located on a harley 1340 softail

On the back underneath the seat, it should switch on when your headlamp comes on

Usually when the brake light stays on, it\'s the front brake switch that is bad.

It usually gets damaged if the front master cylinder is installed incorrectly, breaking off the little bit that works off the brake lever.

A quick test is to unsolder the switch, and touch/untouch the two wires and see if the brake light functions (goes off/on).
