Just found out that my brake light was staying on all the time. I traced it to the rear brake light switch, so I pulled the plug off and now the brake light went out but still works normally with the front brake. Has anyone replaced on of these? if so how hard is it to do? Any info would be appricated.

Happened to me in 2003. Did the same thing as you, temporarily, and pulled the plug. But mine was fixed under warranty.

Not to hard to change the switch.

PITA to bleed the rear brake after.
