Brake light on dash gauge flickering / staying on?

Jorg Jorgenson · Jan 5, 2019

Noticed during my last ride that the brake light indicator on my gauge would flicker on/off on my way up the trail. Sometimes it would stay on until I triggered the brake then let go. It seemed to have went away during the day (or didn’t notice due to all the snow covering the gauge) but I’m thinking some sensor in my brake lever could have just Been frozen from the day before and worked itself out? Or is there the chance of a larger elec. issue I should be worried about?

I had that once on a sticky snow day, minor build up between the lever and perch?

It is just moisture in the connections from the sensor to the lights. Happens quite often on wet days where the sled gets rolled lots. Sometimes it is the sensor on the leaver freezing from park brake being applied. Either way warm up sled in the shop overnight and let her dry out.

Yes sled has had a chance to thaw out now that I am back from the trip, will see if it happens again. Thanks all.
