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".

Stupid question, but does the brake system need to be filled / bled before you can actually reset the switch at the MC (and have it stay)?

Stupid question, but does the brake system need to be filled / bled before you can actually reset the switch at the MC (and have it stay)? Thought about it more last night. With my ohmmeter, I checked for continuity in the master cylinder switch. Found that the single connector (male) is grounded, this after checking that the small rubber sleeved reset button is firmly in the depressed position, I can't press it in further with my finger. Is this new switch (came with the new 19mm master cylinder) faulty? |
