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's progress, I think. I would rather trace the wiring and try to find the offending ground than deal with a faulty MC or MC switch. It's really only two wires, and one of them is inadvertently grounded.
How did you check the E-brake switch? I would pull that thing out, inspect it, and then check continuity from that wire to ground. That little switch gets a little abused due to its use/location and may have failed. |

Have now inspected/checked both sender switches and related relays and all are OK. so I now begin tracing/testing the harness brown with yellow stripe wires from both sender switches. Will keep you posted. |
