Gday everyone, just wondering if anybody has had a brake light that slightly glows even when brake lever and pedal are not depressed.
After a couple of days wondering why a new gauge of mine was going mental I worked out that it was the metal behind it where it was mounted had 3.7 mv causing the gauge to freak out, then I remembered the very slight light glow from the rear brake light that has always been there. All this is when the ignition is on. I tried disconnecting brake wires but it had no effect. I took the handle bar switches off too but that had no effect either - brake light still glowing very lightly and there was still 3.7 mv on handle bars. Has anyone any idea where the short might be coming from? I’m sure it’s something obvious. Thanks heaps.
