Hey guys I just became a scooter owner today.i have purchased a 2010 peace sports 50 scooter for $450 has 2000 miles. The first time driving it I drove 20 miles back to my place I got home and realized my brake lights are the only thing that does not work. the break lights when I press the brakes. I am some what of a motor head for a car but know nothing about carb motors  . I joined to become insightful and maybe buy parts or even motor upgrades. That's it folks. |

Welcome. Sounds like you have a good one. 29 miles first ride for $250 and the only thing wrong is the brake lights don't work. Probably an eash fix. Check bulb. Get the manual ande try to figure out the wiring. A VOM and a tst light both will help ewith elecdtrical trouble shooting.
cheers

Usually there are a few screws to get the plastic brakelight cap off, then remove the bulb, measure the voltage over both pins (usually a 3 pin layout; one is the tail light, the other is the brake light), and if it seems to work, just replace the bulb. If it doesn't, trace back the wire, and replace if necessary; though most of the times it could be a bad connection, which is easily bridgeable.

Hey welcome to the forum. I'm in Lakeland, that bulb may just have a bad or loose contact. Mine has done that before and all I had to do was pull the bulbs out, lean the contacts and it worked. It's worth trying before anything else.
