I see had have removed the brake switch but I don't see anything that plugs into it? Am I crazy?

Vespa no nothing besides turn signals. Checked voltage multiple places and batter is over 12 volts...butkus.

I was trying to start it one day and it just stopped turning over...hear I sit.

Checked all the fuses I know of, 2 by the battery. Anything else you can advise would be awesome...

Thank you

the brake switches-- both-- will have connections to them. if they don't, that's a problem.

starting with a known good battery that is fully charged is critical.

after that, you need a brake light. either one should suffice. the bulb needs to be good too.

so start there.

after that, check the fuses-- not just visually-- for power on both sides, then check the starter relay (next to the battery). loop back and double check all the grounds on the body.

the ignition switch can be a culprit as well, sometimes these break on at the thin plastic where it engages the key set. this is a quick check and you only need to remove the switch to check it, and you can turn it on/off with pliers to test.

pictures would help. and more information.
