Light switches can go bad over time, and when that happens, the easiest solution would be to replace it since they are inexpensive. But before you do replace the switch, you should be aware that there are other reasons why the switch might have stopped working.

Why are my brake lights and speedometer not working?

GO FLYERS!!! Most common cause of these symptoms is a bad wheel speed sensor and I believe a dead speedo usually points to the left rear wheel’s sensor. There is no relation to having just changed the fuel pump……simply a coincidence.
Do you need to replace a speed sensor?
If you need to replace a speed sensor, don’t go aftermarket; get as close to OE as possible. Before you send your ABS control module out for rebuilding, please consider opening it up first, post pictures to Bill’s ABS autopsy thread (the rebuilders say they work on previously opened ABS control modules all the time).
What should I do if my DSC light is not working?
If the rebuilder can’t repair your module (takes about 5 days overall), buy a new module ($480 from Jared at EACTuning) & have the VIN recoded at the stealer (about $120). In almost all (if not all) ABS, Brake, & DSC light trifecta situations, it’s that simple!

Where is the speed sensor located on a Dyna Wide Glide?
I have a 2007 dyna wide glide, where is the speed sensor located? I do not have a service manual. Behind the transmission top cover and near the starter. Had the same problem on my 2000 ultra. Had to change to what my mechanic called a maxi fuse. The one under the seat left side that has the starter wires to it.

Why does my Speedo not work on my Harley?
Speedo works when it wants but only at highway speeds and again randomly. Now blinkers are starting too work intermittently. Any ideas? Don’t believe both switches would go at same time, Short maybe or relay. Not sure and I would appreciate any ideas. Might be a failing Harley speed sensor. Remove the sensor and see if it needs to be cleaned.

What causes a V-twin bike to shut off while riding?
Intermittent cutting out. Turns out it WAS the cylinder head temp sensor. This issue lasted almost a year without throwing a code a drove me nuts. It kills the bike by falsely telling the ECM the bike is too hot, which in turn then shuts the bike down.
How many times has my bike shut off while riding?
Two or three times it has shut off long enough for me to coast to side of road and re-start WITHOUT cycling run/off switch–I just hit start. Last time was in middle of intersection when I was starting from stop. Took a little more for it to start that time but normally starts right up.
