    Dude you are a lifesaver. I had my road test today and everything was fine until the instructor asked to check front brake light. Pulled the brake, nothing. Engaged the rear and it works but the front isn't (even tho it was earlier that day). Instructor said I'll give you 10 Min to fix the issue or the test is forfeit and I throw $150 down the drain . You're video came up first and once I checked, I saw the female connector was completely disconnected from the male. Reconnected it and viola! It works.
    Thank god for your video man!

      check fuses , test the lightbulb , check for broken wires .and currosion on all connectors . and fuse boxes
      wd40 contact cleaner and sandpaper can remove green copper currosion .
      you can also replate bad connector pins using soldering iron and solder wire. after tey are clean ..

    Hi, was the fault just with the front brake signal, in other words did the brake light work when using the rear brake? My brake light flickers which suggests a faulty connecting but does so with both the front and rear brakes, so I'm guessing it may not be the same area which is at fault for me?

    • @MechanicsDIY

      its best to replace the lightbulb first , then test for
      bad connection or a half loosen wire / half dead relay / switch . fuses box for currosion , clean all of them and insert back .

    My front is fine but the rear is not working? Would you happen to know the reason?

    It worked with my bike but the cable keeps slipping off and there is no place to put some tape. What can I do?

    • @MechanicsDIY
      @MechanicsDIY  Před 3 lety +1

      using pliers . gently press the female connector 1-2 mm
      this will increase the clamping force
      if it's too tight use a flat head screwdrver to widen the connector .
      if the connector is not as good .
      you can still use a soldering iron to secure it .

    this irritates me.. both sensors are working and the rear light still doesn't work.. ive bought new sensors and still the same problem... is there a brake relay that can be the cause of the sensor issue?

    • @MechanicsDIY
      @MechanicsDIY  Před rokem

      yes there are many relays
      for the duke
      under the plastic in the seat key section
      and more all over
      use the service manual for diagram
      drive.google.com/file/d/1kft9u_xqr_iFpROsDStuxMPClT8euUkU/view?usp=sharing
      they can go bad
      but
      first test the lightbulb with 12v battery
      see if its burnt or not

    @vanislerider7311 Před 2 lety

    Nope, it didn't work. I'll have to look for some other problem, maybe the switch itself.
