No Parking Brake, No Cable Movement

[The Governor]

2010 RTS-SM5

Push button while running, no cable actuation, red (!) , "BRAKE FAILURE" annuciator. Goes out when pedal depressed.

pads are good, fluid topped off, been riding every day, garage kept, no major temp or weather changes.

all fuses checked, and good.

No codes.

Note- nautilus pulley on rear caliper moves freely, very freely, by hand....


Thoughts?

Little checking..!!

do you hear the motor running when activated..?? There is a common problem with the cable coming off the front wheel. That would be on the right side (sitting on the bike) about calf high behind the panels (of course). Some have made a small "L" bracket and placed it so the cable end can not pop out of it's slot. If you don't hear the motor run in that area may be a problem elsewhere. Possibly the switch...:thumbup:

We have a winner!!!!!!

Thanks Chupaca!

I had the brake pedal pushrod replaced under a recall less than a week ago. Don't know if that was accidentally popped off, or my parking brake was that far out of adjustment that it slipped off.... Either way, this is the cheapest repair to date!

thanks again, all!
