My brake warning light is on. I rebuilt the front calipers to fix leaks, then flushed and bled the system. I have good brake pedal and the car stops just fine. The brake warning light is still on.
I looked for the reset on the warning switch, but could not find one. Instead I pulled the switch from the master cyclinder expecting to find something to reset in there. The switch is just a plastic plunger. the connection is closed when the plunger is fully extended, open when the plunger is depressed. I pushed it, tested it, and then reinstalled. I still have a brake warning light. Should the plunger remain depressed when I push it? Is there something wrong with my master cylinder? Is there something else I need to do on the master cylinder to reset this? How is the warning switch supposed to work? Thanks, Mike |
