I noticed the other day that when I put in the key and turn on the car that the brake lights came on. I thought it was one for German engineering but then a friend told me that my brakes were always on and they couldnt tell when I was slowing down or stopping. So.....
I pulled the wheel off and looked at the master cyl. I see there are 2 wires that COULD connect to the master cyl brake light switch. However there is only one plug on the switch. So I tried them both with no (Its hard when you work on brakes alone) noticable change. I pulled up my favorite 914 world site and did some reading. I saw one post where someone said that the pressure on the master cyl wasnt being released therefore leaving the vehicle in a constant state of BRAKES ON. So I went over and pulled up the pedal and the light went out. So a few questions for the gurus out there. 1 - What wire should be connected to the switch? 2 - Is that the correct switch to only have one connector? 3 - How do you resolve the brake pedal coming back far enough to disengage the brake sensor? 4... Is there anything else I am missing or overlooking? Plently of fluid. = ) Thanks all. Eric |
