    One of the cables might have come off, the integrated lights I believe just splices into stock cables.

    Yes if your back tire is bald but there is still tread on the sides it has "squared off". This will likely make turn in very difficult. What you should do is tons of burn outs in circles to equally wear the edges of your back tire.
