UPDATE: well i figured out the problem and i feel so stupid about it that i almost dont want to even post it but i guess i will in case anyone else comes along that is as brain-dead as me. i basically thought the brake switches worked opposite from the way they do---squeezing the lever releases the little button on the switch out,,,, and lets electrical continuity through to light the brake circuit. i had 2 bad switches that were not getting continuity through them at all when i got the new switches i just plugged them into the wires and let them dangle (in other words --brakes on)--- this was my error when i was testing i was just pushing the little button on the switch thinking that was the same as squeezing the lever everything was working correctly the whole time if i had just bothered to mount up the switches sorry for wasting anyones time with my ignorance and thanks for the help anyway

sorry for the late reply
JR you are correct---the headlights do not come on with the key--only when engine runnning do the headlights come on
when i turn the key on (i belive the larger filimant) of the brake/tail lights is on and then when you hit the brake lever it blinks off
with bike running both filimants are on and when you hit the brake the smaller filament dims but does not go off
thanks for all the replies ---sounds like i need to start tracing the wire

thanks for the welcome
i know that its a linhai engine--i think horizontal,, and it does not have a fuse box but has the 2 main fuses only
the headlight switch only switches between bright and dim----no on/off switch-----when i turn the key on the headlights and tail come on and blinkers work
i will check tonight and confirm all of this but im pretty certain of all of that

hello----i have a rocketa mc 54-250b chineese scooter
i seem to be having a strange problem that i cant easily trace down----------with the key turned on i have tail lights lit up like normal along with the headlight------
now the problem, when i squeeze either brake lever the brake lights do not come on and the tail lights blink off as long as the lever is held---when released the tail lights come back on..
i have replaced both tail light bulbs and both brake lever switches to no avail----one of the switches was def bad
after looking at the wiring print this circuit seems to be hooked in with many other lights
any help as to where i should disconnect and check power or continuity
thanks in advance
