Where is the brake light fuse on the Yamaha v star 1300

You can pay the Yamaha dealer $80 plus a hour to troubleshoot the issue or you can visit Clymner.com and buy a workshop service repair manual.

hope this helps

Many cars have a switch that rests on the arm for the brake peddle that self adjusts. If something gets stuck between the switch and the peddle it can adjust the switch too far way from the peddle arm. When the object that got in the way falls out or is removed the switch will no longer contact the peddle arm and the brake lights will stay on. You would probably need to remove the panel cover for the bottom of the dashboard to access the brake peddle are and brake light switch. Once you see the switch depress the peddle with your hand and push the switch toward the peddle are. It shouldn't be too hard to push back into place and will probably make a series of clicks as it moves. Once the switch has been pushed in release the brake peddle and the switch will adjust itself back to where it should be.

Your problem is likely the brake light switch or fuse.It is a two part switch.One part for the brake lights and the other for the shifter safety release.You have to depress the brake peddle to move the shift lever.Good luck.

Brake light switch fault or fuse blown, check brake lights illuminate when brake pedal pressed if not check fuse then switch if fuse is ok

You can push in on the switch with the door open to get a feel for how it works. Push it in and your dome light turns off. The same thing happens with your brake light switch. When you push on your brake peddle it is the same as your truck door being opened. When the brake peddle, is in its home position as in no pressure on the peddle pad, the arm of the brake peddle pushes the button in which, breaks the circuit to the brake lights.

The switch could be bad. It is easy to spot the switch look at the arm of the brake peddle and see if you can see a bracket that holds the switch against the brake peddle arm. Use a flashlight.

You might be able to tell if the switch is bad by only removing one of the wires and see if your brake light goes out. If your brake lights go out with one wire removed, the switch most likely is bad.

I have also seen where a driver caught there shoe string or shoe on or under side of the peddle and when they pull there foot up they bend the bracket that holds the brake light switch. By bending the bracket they move the switch away from the peddle arm and the switch no longer gets pushed in enough to break the circuit.

A bent bracket can be an easy fix just bend the bracket back to its original position. Please be very careful the bracket can be sharp. In addition, the bracket can crack, to help prevent this let your truck heat up inside if the A/C has been on etc.

You can take all of the wires off the switch and remove it. Take the switch to your local auto parts store they should have one and will be glad to test your existing one.

If there are more then two wires draw your self a diagram, tag the wires with masking tape, and number them. Please be aware that you could blow a fuse if you touch the wire ends to any metal parts of your truck.

If you do not already have fuses in your glove box, you should pick up some while you are at the auto parts store. Please put the fuses in your glove box. I run into many people who say yes I have fuses, at home in there garage! I do not know about everyone else but my truck never breaks down in my garage. I think it is scared of all the tools around it. LOL.

I hope this helps.

Take care and stay safe

Thank you

It sounds like the brake switch, that is usually located along the shaft of the brake peddle under the dash, these sometimes are in a bracket for ajustment may not be able to depress switch. Falow starting at peddle go up to dash, you should be able to see it. Hope this helps.

Check the brake light switch under the dash at the brake peddle and make sure its working if it does not close when you depress the brake peddle the lights will not work You may hve to remove the lower cover for the dash to get at the switch
