2013 Pro Rmk brake light flashing

[sledhead9825]

Brake light on the dash starting flashing off and on. Looks like not enough free play in the brake lever. No way to adjust the lever to add some free play. Anyone else had this problem ? Thanks

Snow and ice packed in the brake lever. Very common problem. It doesn't take much at all!

Its not snow or ice buildup. Its in my garage know and still has next no free play. I could pull the lever and take a few thousand off the lever where it touches the plunger in the master. Wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

Brake light flashing

Had the same exact thing happen to an IQ RMK the other day. Found that the tail light wires in the channel just ahead of the tail light assembly had been pinched by a rivet during assembly and the wires were shorted together. You may want to drill the tail light housing rivets out and make sure the 3 wires look ok. Also take a close look at the bulb, this one had the 2 filaments stuck together. Ruined the voltage regulator, by the way.
