I have read the information in this forum concerning having to reset the brake warning light switch after rebuilding the master cylinder. I've uncovered the switch in my 1975 914, and it is a single terminal with one brown wire attached. Apparently I need to remove the switch from the master cylinder to reset it? Will brake fluid come out when I do this? I'd really prefer not to have to bleed all the wheel cylinders if I can avoid it!
Thanks, Robbie |

Thanks, Robbie This switch is a button on the master cylinder, just press it and that should reset it. |

Brake fluid will not come out unless the seals have failed. I just swapped a broken brake warning light switch on a completely bled system with no ill effects and no fluid came out.
