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!

If you don't have an E-brake, meaning you don't have the handle, then you need to disconnect the button that the handle would normally press when it is all the way down.
If the button is not pressed, the car thinks the handbrake is set because the handle isn't all the way down. So it turns on the blinking light to remind you. --DD |
