Help - 06 zx10r brake light not working

Hi guys need a hand, I noticed my brake light (OEM integrated brake/tail light) is not working, tail light is. I checked the plug and have 11V or so on two of the three wires so no problem there. I guess that leaves the intergrated sealed tail light.

Is there anything I have missed or could do or am I left buying a new tail light? $30 chinese or $100 from the states (probably still chinese)

Any help would be appreciated, Cheers Russ

Hate to state the obvious, but check the fuses as I would assume the tail light fuse would be different to the brake light fuse.

Can't remember if the 06 has LED's or filament bulbs but if LED and fuse is good, looks like a new assembly is needed (provided you haven't crashed it or done something else which would have caused a wire to break somewhere)...

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

Mick

Are the micro switches working: as in, does the voltage change when a brake is applied?

In general it is fuse problem.. I have faced similar issue and it was due to blown fuse
