I can't find this on the wiring diagram, and curiosity is killing this cat. It comes out of the harness right next to the connector for the hazard lights.

As known, the brake-light-warning idiot light is supposed to remain dark while cruising along without any application of either brake.

During brake application, the idiot light is supposed to burn a steady bright red.
(This lets the world know that the idiot light bulb and its related circuitry are functional).

Here's the "warning" part:
When the rider notices the idiot light is "blinking" when supposed to be dark while cruising along without either brake applied, the "blinking" idiot light is warning the rider that "the next time brake is applied, the rear brake light ain't gonna light up."
Such warning typically results from a blown brake light filament in the rear bulb, but may also result from other deficiencies such as a bad wire, loose connector, etc.

Good Fortune! :)
