Brake light issue

Post by paulmclaren »

Hi all :)

I have an issue when pressing the front brake lever on my Honda pcx 2016 scoot.
When i pull the front brake lever the light will not come on when pressed?
The rear works when i press the rear brake lever.
I have changed the connector where two wires connect to a little relay box under the brake but i am getting the same issue?

Any ideas what it could be hopefully something simple.

Thanks.

But i can remember another issue i have now.
The lighter charger connector in the compartment on the left the charging point.
I use this as i have an electric pump to pump up my tyres.
This has suddenly stopped working.
Any ideas what might be the issue?
I am thinking wiring?

You use the charge port to run an air pump? I am surprised that it didn't blow your fuse. It can only handle a certain amount of amps and you may have gone beyond that, thus blowing fuse. Determine where the fuse is and see if it is blown. My 2013 PCX doesn't have one but the rest of my fuses are in the battery compartment. Maybe your owner's manual will tell you which one handles the charge port.

I ran an air pump as well on the charge port. It worked fine... untill I tested it to inflate the tyres, then it worked fine for 1 second. As Mel46 stated the fuse was blown. Luckily there were some spare fuses in the battery compartment (look well because I can remember they were a bit hidden away) provided by the nice people from Honda :).
