I have installed a new 19mm master cylinder that came with a single switch. My '72 harness to this switch has two wires each with a female "push on" connector, but the new brake master cylinder switch has only one male connector on it, next to the reset (?) switch. Two questions: 1) do I need to find a two connector switch, and 2) how do you reset the switch? I pushed the little black button into the switch and I think a felt it go in with a slight "snap".

QUOTE(Keith914 @ Jul 1 2016, 05:13 PM)  Thanks for your prompt helpful response. I will report back. I selected the brown ground wire and taped it off carefully, then attached the brown with white stripe wire to the single male fitting on the master cylinder switch. Unfortunately when I turn the ignition on again the brake light continues to flash on and off at about the frequency of the turn signals, and when I switch the right or left turn signals on while the brake light is flashing, the right signal flashes weakly while the left turn signal is on, and visa versa? I previously inspected the hand brake switch adjustment and condition of the sensor wire -- all looks OK. |
