Rear Brake lights
The brake lights in my saddle bags stay on after I press the front or rear brake. The lights in my trunk works as they should. The only thing I changed is I added LED lights in the trunk. Both switches seem to be working correctly. I changed both bulbs making sure there wasn't a bad filament. Any suggestions?

Do you have a brake wag? Something that oscillates the brake lights. If so the unit is using current draw to wag the lights like a flasher..

You say both switches are working correctly? Is the rear one maybe a bit out of adjustment? Have you checked the lube on the brake peddle shaft? Sometimes (a lot) it gets forgotten and it won't return all the way...causing the switch to activate.

I figured it out last night. I replaced the LED's with standard bulbs and it's working correctly. I guess I have to replace all the 1157 bulbs with LED's to work correctly.
