Hey guys I get a 2014 XT was wondering if anyone knows where the brake light switch connector is. was at the dealer had a tuner pipe installed and had all the brakes done and now I know I don't have brake lights and when I'm in gear and hold the breakdown I can no longer override to start any help would be helpful if not I'll bring it back to the dealer. Thanks.

Possibilties incude the connector got disconnected for the pressure sensor or broke a wire to same. Or the pressure sensor is broke. The pressure sensor is located on the rear brake master cylinder down by the foot brake. The conncector is about 10 inches above. I had a broken wire where the wires entered the sensor and it cause d the symptoms you describe.

There is also a connector under the seat that's sends a signal from the brake being pressed... If you've never used it before for a cargo box with a light installed then it likely has its factory dust cover on it... If water got in it it could have or be causing a short.... Check that plug and then check fuses for brake light also :) good luck friend

If it was shorted, the brake line would be on and the brake override start function would work.

Broken wire on switch down by the foot brake. Take it back to the dealer and have them install the pressure switch on their dime.
