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".

That thing you describe may be a diode to keep the power from going "backwards" through the system.
The blinking light in the combo gauge will blink when the key is on and EITHER the handbrake handle is up and not pressing on the handbrake handle switch, OR the master cylinder switch is closed. If the wire going to either of those switches is shorted to ground, the light will also flash. --DD |
