I noticed my Brake Lights did not come on when the rear brake pedal was applied. A couple of days later, it started to work again. Now it has stopped.

It is a pressure switch, I understand. Is there anything to check, or is a replacement job? (The wiring appears to be okay).

Thanks,
Geoff

Geoff, if your electrics are okay then you will need a new switch, those units are sealed and there is not much you can do about it (it is indeed pressure operated).

|You can probably save yourself a few quid by taking the old one to an auto factor rather than buying a Triumph part, AFAIK they are pretty universal.

I think it might be worth double checking those connections are clean & tight.
