Intermittent Brake lights

[Down South]

My cart came with brake lights, the LED's. I notice that My brake lights seem to work when they want to.
Since I didn't install these lights, I'm not sure exactly how they are hooked up.
Is there an adjustment that I need to make, check for a bad switch, etc?

Tried a search here but no workie.

If on a timer system, you may not be able to see them work until cart has ran for a min7re and cart battery is fully charged.

Nope, that's not it. I can be riding around and hit the brake pedal and sometimes the brake lights work and sometimes they don't. I can press the pedal different ways and make them come on but they might go back off if I press the pedal a bit harder.

Is there an extra brake pad on your brake pedal that you are pressing?

No, it's wired in to the pedal under the floor.
I guess I could pull the pedal assembly out and have a look. I just had it out a while back when I replaced the MCOR.

Should be wired into two layers and basically there will be a switch. Use a jumper wire in between the connections in the light harness, after unhooking brake switch. If you get lights switch is bad, if you dont, harness is bad.

Before pulling the pedal assembly out I would try this:

Pull up the floor mat, and the floor board access panel
Try pumping the brake pedal and watch the brake light switch action.
I am guessing that you will find the problem is a mechanical issue with the activation of that brake light switch.

Post a picture if you can when you get to see the switch action when brake pedal is pushed.

I had the floor plate up the other day doing a minor adjustment on the brake pedal. I saw the two sets of wires but I didn't see a switch. There may be one there, but I'm surprised that I don't remember it.
I "Think" the switch is mounted to the pedal assembly which would have to be pulled to get to.

I'll get around to it in a day or two and get back.

Thanks for the replies.

Just unhook the wires under the pedal and use a wire as a jumper and touch the two ends together. Should come on. If they do, switch is bad. If not, then harness is bad.

I am still guessing it is an adjustment.

I installed mine almost two years ago, but I recall a spring and an adjustment to insure when the pedal is depressed it pulls the plunger out of the brake switch to make connection.
