I have a 2006 harley 1200c sportster and the brake lights aren't working. all the other lights work fine. does it have it's own fuse?

Check for power and if none trace back to fuse

Light bulb burned out
Neutral switch no good
Wire broken/disconnected
Fuse blown

Harley speedos have a lot of problems with water vapor getting in and shorting stuff out my 2006 1200c had the same problem I just bought another one of eBay and installed it myself

Hi Anonymous, and the usual suspects are:
1.Ignition/Light Key Switch not in IGNITION position.
2.Engine Stop switch in the OFF position.
3.Discharged battery, loose or corroded connections check negative cable at "BOTH" ends. (solenoid chatters).
4. Bank Angle Sensor tripped and Ignition/Light Key Switch not cycled to Off and then back to on.
5. Starter control circuit, relay or solenoid faulty.
6. Electric starter shaft pinion gear not engaging or over-running clutch slipping.
7. Security alarm not disarming
For a prime suspect please visit website below. Good luck and have nice day.

Hi Anonymous, please be aware that this question has already been asked and answered. Thank you

Yes, although I don't work on the later model bikes, I do believe you can do this because you have to take the derby cover off to adjust the clutch and you don't have to drain the oil to do that.

Good Luck

Yes, there is a fuse but if the fuse blew, ALL the lamps would be out. Your problem is either bulbs, sockets, or ground connections.

Good Luck

i would say keep an eye on the oil system.

Since there is no "center section" to the rocker boxes, there is umbrella valve in there. There is a "breather" in there however. Now, whether or not it will cause excessive oil to get into the air filter, I don't know. I don't work on models as new as this. It's simple enough to put the front rocker box and check. Take a look here.

you can remove the seat,then undo the bolts on each side of the bracket holding the battery,then of course remove pos and negative wires,you can do it without removing the seat,just easier access
