Brake Lights Stay On

[Trikeman46]

Installed a heat shield on my 2014 TriGlide between the master cyl brake switch and exhaust pipe because when I ride in warm weather the brake lights will not turn off after about 30 miles. But When the trike cools off the brake lights start to operate correctly again.. Exhaust pipe overheats the switch because it's 1.5 inches from the pipe and the air circulation is blocked by the lower faring..

I like your solution Bob, any pics ?

I had a buddy (2016 TG) that had brake lights staying on. Not sure if your fix would have worked or not but he had to have that brake switch replaced. His 90 minute ride to the dealership with the brake lights on (down here in the Florida sun) deformed his taillight covers.

Nice move on the heat shield—that definitely sounds like a heat soak issue. Smart workaround! Hopefully that keeps the brake light behaving now, especially on those warmer rides.
