Brakelight Switch

(Bearcat 570/Z 570)

TESTING/REMOVING

1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the brake con-

trol.

2. To test the brakelight switch, connect one tester

lead to the #1 (yellow) terminal; then connect the

other lead to the #4 (red) terminal.

727-650A

3. With the brake lever compressed, the meter must

read resistance. With the brake lever released, the

meter must read no resistance. If the meter does

not read as specified, the brakelight switch is

defective and must be replaced.

4. To remove the switch, use a small screwdriver to

compress the plastic locking tabs by pushing in on

the tabs; then slide the switch free of the brake

control.

AF201D

INSTALLING

1 On push-activated style, slide the brakelight

switch into the brake control assembly until the

self-locking tabs snap into position. Give the

switch body a light pull to make sure the switch is

properly secured.

2. Connect the switch harness to the main wiring har-

ness. Position the wires so they will not be either

pinched or come in contact with any moving com-

ponents. Start the engine and check the switch for

proper operation.

TESTING/REMOVING

1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the brake con-

trol.

2. Connect one tester lead to the #1 terminal; then

connect the other lead to the #4 terminal.

727-650A

3. With the brake lever compressed, the meter must

read less than 1 ohm of resistance. With the brake

lever released, the meter must read no resistance.

If the meter does not read as specified, the brake-

light switch is defective and must be replaced.

4. Use a small screwdriver to compress the plastic

locking tabs by pushing in on the tabs; then slide

the switch free of the brake control.

assembly until the self-locking tabs snap into posi-

tion. Give the switch body a light pull to make

sure the switch is properly secured.

2. Connect the switch harness to the main wiring har-

TESTING/REMOVING

„NOTE: On the F-Series to access the brakelight
switch connector, the two rear console torx-head
screws must be removed and the console must be
lifted upward and forward.

1. Disconnect the brakelight switch black and brown

two-wire connector (located below the steering

support). 

„NOTE: On the Panther 570, disconnect the two-
wire connector located under the console.

2. To test the brakelight switch, connect one tester

lead to the brown terminal; then connect the other

lead to the black terminal.

3. With the brake lever compressed, the meter must

read 1 ohm or less resistance. With the brake lever

released, the meter must read OL (open). If the

meter does not read as specified, the brakelight

switch is defective and must be replaced.

4. To remove the switch, remove the snap ring; then

remove the pin securing the brake lever to the con-

trol assembly.

5. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, compress the

tabs of the switch; then push the switch toward the

end of the handlebar and out of the control assem-

bly.

INSTALLING

1. Slide the brakelight switch into the brake control

assembly until the self-locking tabs snap into posi-

tion. Give the switch body a light pull to make

sure the switch is properly secured.

2. Install the brake lever and secure with the pin and

snap ring.

3. Connect the switch harness to the main wiring har-

ness. Position the wires so they will not be either

pinched or come in contact with any moving com-

ponents. Start the engine and check the switch for

proper operation.

„NOTE: On the F-Series, return the console to
position and secure with the two rear torx-head
screws.

TESTING

1. Disconnect the headlight dimmer switch plug

(located next to the air-intake silencer).

2. Use the tester connections indicated in the follow-

ing chart. If the meter does not read as specified,

the headlight dimmer switch is defective and must

be replaced.
