Hi, I have a 914 with the 911 cluster and sb 350 conversion. What is the top red light in the oil/temp gauge that has a B in a circle for? It was blinking without touching the brake. This was after driving and noticed my brakes were acting like my calipers were sticking. When I got where I was going the brakes acted fully applied and it wouldn't roll at all like the emergency brake was applied but don't even have one. I did recently replace the master cylinder and have a full pedal. After a bit it will roll freely again. I press on the brake and the light blinks. The reservoir is full. Thanks for any advice!

As Steve said, the B light comes from the warning switch on the MC. You can test if the switch is tripped by disconnecting the wire on the switch to see if the light goes off.
As far as the brakes dragging, that is some other issue. You may want to lift each tire; press the brakes and rotate the wheels and see if one caliper is sticking all all are sticking. I think there's an adjustment between the MC and the brake pedal. Make sure there's some free play between pressing the brake and depressing the MC plunger. |
