Brake lights don't work

I posted this on the fantics forum as well. They quit today. I checked the connections and fuses in the j-box as well as the bulbs. Everything seems good. Is there a switch somewhere that could have gone bad? I do have a wig-wag on there if that makes any difference. Any ideas? '02 Connie COG # 6662 Dallas, Tx
 
Two switches. One at the front brake lever and one at the rear brake pedal. Doubt both went at the same time. Check for continuity on the fuse to really see if it is blown or not. Might chek the bulbs also. And yes the wig-wag unit could be the culprit. Try removing it from the system and see if the switches/fuse/bulbs are in order. AKA "2linby" That's 2-lin-by folks!

Thanks for the reply. I think I need to remove the wig-wag first and see what happens. '02 Connie COG # 6662 Dallas, Tx
 
It was the wig-wag. I removed it and got my brake lights back. That company won't get anymore of my money. Thanks for the input. '02 Connie COG # 6662 Dallas, Tx
 
Cmore, who makes that wig-wag? Greg H from Mass, Connie Droppers Anonymous Awards Dude COG# 7010,a Tracey CDA 120 99 Connie "Herrin Christabelle", 05 Ninja 250
 
It's called the "Back Off Wig-Wag Brake Light Modulator" I got it from Adventure MotoStuff. It came with a limited warranty for one year. I think I installed it about 6 months ago. Of course the receipt is long gone. The modulator is in the trash can now. '02 Connie COG # 6662 Dallas, Tx

If it were me, I'd grab it out of the trash can & give Chad (or one of his crew) a call. They stand by what they sell. I have Back-Off's non-wigwag version, and it has performed without a problem for a couple of years now. Mike B / Gig Harbor, WA
