Has anyone had problems with the rear brake light switch? Ours is a slightly loose fit and moves in it's socket, resulting in the rear brake light being permanently 'on'. I have tried taping it in place to hold it still, but within a few miles has moved and the light is on again. I have today resolved to supergluing it in and hope that cures it. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve itr?

are you talking about the microswitch by the brake lever - if so then probably easier to just replace the switch , after checking connections etc , I had opposite problem - light wouldn't come on,turned out to be a loose connection.

Yep, it's the tiny switch at the end of the electic cable. It only needed a slight movement to move to a position where it constantly stayed 'on'. I have now glued it in place and so far so good. It does need a total replacement if anything goes wrong in the future!!!
