Brake light switch replacement?

[spyderryder53]

Has anyone replaced a brake light switch and was it a big job?
I have a 2014 RTS and something keeps blowing the VCM fuse :banghead: I'm getting a C0040 code and C006C which mentions the light switch problem.also got a P0504 and a P061E code one of the 4 times it happened.
TIA, Leon

Have you checked the brake switch with a meter and checked for any damaged wires? Check under your brake pedal you will see it.

And have you raised the bike recently or hit something under the Spyder?

No I haven't checked it with a meter.
I did recently have the rear shock replaced.
I'll look for a bad wire I looked in the back but not under the pedal.
Thanks
