New LED Tail Light - Issue

[BorgBiker]

A while ago I bought the reflector replacing LED Tail/Brake Light from Sean Morley, and I finally decided to put it in. I connected it before installing it, and both the running light and brake light worked as expected.

After mounting it, I reconnected it and only the tail light worked, no brake light. I pulled out the old light, reconnected it and the brake light does not work for it either!

I tried both front and rear brakes to eliminate the possibility of a switch being the problem. Neither activate the brake light, on either light I tried.

So, in summary: I have tail light but no brake light, and I've tried both switches, as well as two different lights.

This appears to me to be a problem somewhere on the other side of the yellow (brake) wire. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Fuse?

Thanks Sean!

Pause for silence, so everyone can hear the "Duh!"

Yep, a fuse. My signals were out too, although I hadn't noticed at the time.

It's always the simple things that getcha!

You get the light sorted out too?
