Default Artic Cat 366 brake light problem

I have a 08 Artic Cat 366 and the brake light stays on. The brakes themselves are not engaged but the light remains lit. Any ideas?

Have you checked the switches? They could be sticking, particularly the foot pedal brake if you run the machine through muck and such.

What switches are you refering? Are they by the pedal/handbrake or down by the Master Cylinder? What should I look for?

Check the cables on the rear hand brake. On mine the brake light switch is on the lever and if the cable isn't adjusted to keep the lever tight, the loose lever will trip the light without engaging the brakes. If you adjust the cable to tighten up the lever it should take care of your problem.
