Ish, electrical problems.....

Could be an internal short in the brake switch itself.. Is your's the
original little metal box? Check it with an ohm meter, just don't ask me
how or what to look for .......

Wait, yes you can. Hook up the meter to each side of the box-one on
power in, one on power out. There should be no signal. Then, activate
the switch.(push the pin in) There should be continuity then. If you
have continuity before activating the switch, the switch is bad.

As always, I could be totally off my nut! HTH!

The fly in the ointment is the brakelight. By the time I come back
from one of my little jaunts my brakelight fuse is toast. I have tried
to track the short from both ends of the bike but can't seem to locate
it.

Please post your timesaving electron-chasing techniques.
