Front brake light switch iffy
#1
Noticed my FB did not actuate the light before my ride today. Obvious issue, one connector disconnected.

After checking, it came on and stayed on.

Reason is that the small screw holding the switch to the HB backed out just a tad, enough to allow the switch to move with the lever and fail to deactivate the light (remained closed).

I pulled the switch off, checked it, reinstalled with a drop of blue Loctite. Cannot tighten those too much or the switch could crack.

Another thing to look out for. Think I will order a second just in case it fails.
