Brake light switch problem
My brake lights quit working after one day. I went back to the dealer (Blackburns in Medina, Ohio) the next day and we took off the brake switch which is under the trike on the left side near the brake booster. We opened the switch, it was packed with dielectric grease and the contacts were spread apart too much. We bent them closer and it worked for a week.
Blackburns was great to deal with. Wayne and Gloria are great to work with. They go out of their way to help and made sure I was happy.
When the switch quit working the second time I took it off at home and played with the contacts, bent them some more, and got it working again. I called Wayne at Blackburns the next day, he had TMS in Texas overnight a new switch. When it arrived we took it apart, it just snaps together, to see if anything was different between the old and new. The new switch contained no dielectric grease. We put it on and so far it is still working, although it has only been a week. I think the grease may have caused enough interference to keep the contacts from making up.
I now check the brake lights every day before I open the garage door, so I can see their reflection on the door.
While it was on the lift I got a chance to really examine it from the bottom. This thing is really put together nice. Everything is top notch and well designed,
