Have a 2012 Stelvio which is running great. Have just noticed though an intermittent issue with the neutral light. Have located where the switch is and with jiggling the wire have replicated somewhat the fault. So believe the problem is at the switch end rather than the ECU.
Problem is... How do you get to the bloody thing?
The only way I can think of at the moment is back wheel off and remove rear spring assembly to get to.
Hope I am wrong.
Appreciate any guidance from the brains trust out there.
Cheers
 
It's been a while since I've had to replace one, but it screws into the gearbox. Yes, you probably may have to remove the wheel to get access, but I can't see why you would have to remove the rear shock and spring.

Because of the effort getting access, it might pay to have a replacement to insert, otherwise you may be doing it all again.

Edit: Looked it up in the parts manual. It's sitting on top of the gearbox at the rear. Part number GU19207220 if you need to order one.

Thanks Mate, Yep I know where it is. Was hoping to avoid a major exercise though especially given the effort a couple of weeks ago when I decided to grease up the swing arm bearings. Glad I did as they were quite dry as were both ends of the cardan shaft. A lot of work though getting the swingarm off and on. You might be right but looks to me there wont be enough room for access to the top of the switch unless the rear spring/damper comes off. Will wait a couple of days before I tackle.
Cheers
 
I've been experiencing the same issue for a few years now, so I'll be sure to follow your progress!
 
The problem seems to have gone away. I pressed a screw driver end against the top of the switch and that seems to have fixed he loose connection. Likely will return though and still not sure how I will get access. Latest theory is to remove airbox and or the mudguard fitting underneath the seat. Either way will be a major exercise when I do.
