Well I finally did it

Because today is a little cold and dank I figured I'd do a little neglected maintenance and get down and dirty on the ground for a few minutes.
My rear brake (foot brake) would not activate the brake light and I've been meaning to fix this for months. I just happened to check it for the heck of it one day, I had no idea it wasn't working.
It's a simple matter to adjust the switch position and also had to adjust the aft end of the pull cable position to tighten up the loose cable going to the switch, but now the light goes on with a light tap of the pedal as it should. Very helpful to indicate to a following car (flash your brake light) you are about to slow down before you actually do, so they don't go up your butt if they're too close. And of course the manual doesn't help much, just look at it and you can figure it out in a second or two.
Check both of your brake controls and make sure the light goes on when you first apply them.
