I know this has been covered many times and have read several different threads. Trying to diagnose if microswitch, motor or dash switch is bad. My parking brake is locked on. No biggy had to release once before back in 2018. This time it happened in garage. I Unscrewed 12mm nut in back, Pulled cable up and released spring. Bike now moves and brake released. Pushed down dash switch and it just clicks, like a solenoid somewhere under the front dash. Checked fuse 1 and fine. Checked brake fluid and fine. When I push dash switch it turned the ! Symbol To solid. Cable doesn’t not move. Turned off and back on and pushed dash button 10-20 times. Pushed on brake etc trying to jar it and even moved the spyder. So turned off and beeps for 20 seconds or so as it should. Took off side panels. Last time my micro switch was sticking and was dirty. Simply wiped it and clicked the bar a few times and perfect since. I turned machine on and didn’t touch dash switch. I cleaned microswitch bar and manually pushed the metal microswitch on bar down so I hear the micro switch click. It clicks fine. In theory the ! Symbol Should go out I think. It doesn’t. It turned solid. The click I hear when depressing the dash switch from the dash area is not the micro switch sound for sure. So is the micro switch bad? Should I take the bolt out on rear brakes, remove the hook bar with the star shaped cutout and Release the cable totally to release pressure on the motor end and push dash button and see if motor spins and cable retracts? Or is the motor and microswitch shot? Bike has 52k. How do you test brake motor and where is the connections?
