Front Brake Light Switch Doesn't Work

[David P]

When I activate the handlebar brake, my brake lights do not come on. When I push the foot brake pedal, everything works fine. I checked switch continuity: infinity in either state (pressed, not pressed). I tried to order it, but cannot find the handlebar brake switch part number in the Honda parts diagrams. Does anyone know how/where to order another switch, or know a replacement source? Thanks, DP

Also, where did all the old threads go? I'm missing a significant number of my posts. I didn't realize how much I relied on tribal knowledge...

The site suffered a big crash a couple of months ago and there was a lot of data loss as a result.

You didn't state what year your ST1300 is. The above is for a 2009. My guess is that they are the same for all model years but you need to check for your model year. You can find it in the listing with the parts for the front brake master cylinder.
