Excellent, you do possess some knowledge of a brake circuit.
Now, that you have that down...you made a statement that started this discussion "Has to do with the top case taillight that flashes when heavy braking activates the anti-locks brakes."
to which I started some feedback. The flashing brake lights have no electrical tie in to the anti-lock brakes. I stand by that statement.
The recall has zero to do with the anti lock brakes and everything to do with a flashing brake light under heavy braking. Tail light flashers can activate several ways and none has to do with the activation of anti lock brakes.
I'm sorry that you got defensive about this but that's they way the system works.
Sarcasm does not become you, especially when you don't seem to understand a simple concept. I really can't believe how obtuse you are. And I didn't get defensive, I just explained what BMW says is the reason for the recall. And since I work for a BMW M/C dealer I think I have a far better understanding of this situation than you ever will.
I said that the top case brake light flashes when heavy braking activates the anti lock brakes. Which it does. Heavy braking which does NOT activate the antilock circuit does not cause the brake light to flash. So the recall has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING when the anti-lock brakes are activated. Is that simple enough for you to understand?
