I just finished installing a 19mm master cylinder on my 75, and bled the system twice. My brake pedal is firm, and brakes seem good. I also replaced the brake pads front and rear, and adjusted the vent space to 4mm.
Now my brake lights stay on, and the blinker on the dash won't stop blinking, no matter what. I'll take another look and bleed it again, but I am baffled. I replaced the pads three weeks ago, but then realized the master cylinder was shot. I didn't have the problem until I changed the master cylinder yesterday. Any tips? |

Did you check the brake switch? That may need adjustment with all of the work that you did. When you push down on the brake pedal, it allows the switch to close. Rleeasing the brake opens the switch. Sounds like the switch may not be opening enough to turn the brake light off.
