Brake lights dont work on my suzuki intruder 250. i have changed the bulb, checked the wiring on the foot ped and hand brake seems all fine. all my other lights work on the bike from blinkers, headlig

SOURCE: brake light does not work

remove the bulbs step on the brake and ck for power at the terminals inside the socket if no power back track the wires and look for a break in the wires.use a didgital volt meter and ck for continuity through the switches( unplug the switch and put the probes to both terminals one on each the meter should beep ---switch good.........
no beep switch bad) also ck the bk. light relay ,not sure where it is at....more extensive problem ??? the dealer sells service the manual with all the wireing diadrams and locations of the components all u need to fix any thing on u bike .....my 82 honda saber had lots of electrical prob's & lighting prob,s i bought the service manual and fixed every thing... saved me hundreds o $$$$$$$$$$$$
let me know

you have a corroded ground in the back light bar..remove the rear light bar from the fender and make sure it is clean, not rusty.

Have you checked for blown fuses?

SOURCE: Replaced bars on my 1994 Intruder 1400....now it won't start?!?!?

commen thing with bikes when disturbing the wiring loom !
it may have a loose or dirty connector
someitmes its a break inside the wiring when that you wont see!
check the grounding & ignition curcuits

It mught be the bulb that needs replacing or else check the wiring to the bulb for continuity in case there is a broken or snapped bit.If you have a voltmeter then you can test the voltage reading at the point of contact..Sometimes rust builds up and a simple cleaning would solve this.Hope this helps.
