2020 Sportsman 570 Brake Lights stay on

Same issue. I got 2 brand new 2022 570s. One has this issue. The brake light stay on and after some driving you start getting messages to release the break. There is no drag. Brakes work excellent. I found a sensor behind foot brake, if I disconnect then no brake lights at all. If I play with plug the lights work correctly until I drive for 15 mins.

Look like I'll need dealer service which is 2+ hour drive.

Same issue with my 2022 trail. Ordered an new switch to try but pulled a tad on the master cylinder plunger and the issue went away for a day then came back. Brakes are not dragging. Tried draining some fluid and cracked the bleed valve. Same issue. Going to replace the switch tomorrow and try it.

Sorry, I haven’t been back in here in a bit. I did resolve my issue. I replaced the switch and the issue has not returned for 20 miles. Unfortunately I had to do it at my own cost because of timing and I couldn’t wait for the dealer to be available. Others have said that they got it done at the dealer and it’s a known issue. I suspect it is known because most places didn’t have the switch in stock. In order for the atv to start, you have to hold the brake while cranking. That’s part of the reason I figured out I had an issue, I could still start it without Hilti g the brake. I had to ride it that way for a little while with the messages coming up, but the engine never went into a derate Mode.
