Re fitted my clocks this weekend. The brake light never worked, blown bulb. Now that it has a new bulb it does not go out. tail light bulb is working. Any ideas why

warning light comes continuos on when rear brake light bulb blown its seeing an open circuit somewhere check the wiring diagram the make sure everything is connected

Outage relay could be the problem Jon!! indicator light should flash if lamp has blown,the outage realy if you have one should be mounted near to the coils under the tank,it slips into a metal bracket on rh coil,if its duff they are a bit like Rockin horse crap...

thanks Paul forgot it flashed its only happened once in 30 years but I knew it did something clever

Paul, Ill take a look All else fails the bulb comes out

ok lets try again it definitely thinks the brake light is on its a starting point to look at

Jon, I seem to remember that when the light stays on, it is trouble with the outage relay unit (beside the Lhs coil)..... I have had a few with that symptom. Don't know where you get a replacement!
Hopefully I'm wrong.
RegardZ.

Yes I agree. I had same problem, replaced the relay unit and problem solved. Replacement unit was kindly supplied by a club member at reasonable cost.

OK tank came off. There is a small rectangular box under the left coil. Appears to be wired in.

Should be on a plug Jon! unplug and see if lamp goes out,only way i know how to check op of these is by substution..Paul J

pulled the plug & the light goes out

Outage relay fault mate,put a wanted on here you never know,Cheers Paul J

I assume I can run with the relay disconnected for now. Anyone got one that works?
