XL brakelight

Noticed that when I step on the rear brake I'm not getting a brakelight on my 08 XL. Any ideas where to start with this. The front brake lights it up fine.

Check the switch and wiring, it's got to be a problem in that area.

08?? Take it back to the stealership and have them replace it, you've got a two year warranty!

Warranty is the best way, and I definately think it is a switch issue.

Thumbs up

Switch issue OR pedal-switch adjust'mt OR incomplete circuit, in my

mind...whatever = stealer/warranty issue.
