I'm trying to sort out my wiring, fitting a six tacho etc. One thing I'm struggling on is the parking brake light. I've located the flasher relay
(IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/flash1.jpg) The wires out of the relay. Brown/red/blue+white/2xblack+white+green (IMG:http://www.thesey.com/pictures/flash2.jpg) When the Ign is switched on the brake light flashes as it should (parking brake switch not yet connected). When the the parking brake wire is grounded the light doesn't stop flashing. |

I think I have found the trouble. I had replaced the 17mm with a 19mm master cylinder. The old cylinder had wiring for the pressurte switch but my 19mm does not have a place to fit the switch.
I guess i just connect the 2 pressure switch wires together. |

QUOTE(thesey914 @ May 23 2008, 02:55 AM)  I think I have found the trouble. I had replaced the 17mm with a 19mm master cylinder. The old cylinder had wiring for the pressurte switch but my 19mm does not have a place to fit the switch. I guess i just connect the 2 pressure switch wires together. The 19mm MC usually has a place for the switch, or comes with a switch in it. Often the switch only has one terminal on it, rather than the two of the original MC. The switch works by shorting the wires together to turn the light on. With a one-terminal sender, the brown/yellow wire is connected, and the brown ground wire is taped up out of the way. If you hook the wires together, the light will flash any time the key is on... --DD |
