[bowtiewagon]

I am at my wits end on this.I have a Titan Velocity 150cc chinese sccoter that is on about 29,000 miles at this point. My problem is my lights. seems they went out on me while riding last night,only trouble is that when I apply the brakes they come on?WTF? Once i release the brakes,the dim down and go out. what is causing this?Please help..thanks.

sounds like a short man, if you have a multimeter take a bulb out and check your output

A short should blow a fuse.

You are getting a open somewhere in the electrical system when you are riding and because of weight shifting when braking the open is being closed and the lights come back on.

The lights are on when you are sitting still and do they go out if you accelerate? If you just coast to a stop after the lights go out do they come back on?

Finding the problem is going to be fun. I would check all the electrical connections starting at the battery. Could be a bad internal connection in the battery.

sitting still on the stand the lights are off,only come on when brake is applied.so no motion involved.Only fuse I know of is the one in the battery box on the hot wire.I will check that one . Upon acceleration they would dim down a bit,but fluctuate.bright /dim/bright/dim..then brakeing they are real bright.
