Front brake switch

almar · Mar 18, 2020

During lockdown gave the sertao a good wash & polish, I noticed the brake light from the handlebar wasn't operating, the rear seems to be OK, I can hear the micro switch operating, tried to follow the cable but goes under air filter housing. Can anybody here tell where it ends up so I don't end up removing unnecessary parts.
Thankyou Alan

Not 100% sure but probably behind the battery, there is a plastic cover which hides a massive bundle of wires and connectors.
I think it’ll be airbox and battery tray out job.

Did you use a multimeter to test the switch before you delve any further?

Thank you for your replys, yes found where it ends, yes checked with my multimeter and con comfirm the switch is OK, and yes it is in front of the battery, my next question is that there are 4 yellow relays which I believe are diode relays, any thoughts on which one operates the the light, any thoughts gratefully received

is there no indication in your manual what they operate?

Unfortunately, no information at all,

If they are exactly the same part number you could try swapping them around
