Hey gang - I have a 72 914 that when I disengage the emergency brake (two piece lever) the flashing red lights in the dash won't turn off.
After I disengage to brakes - I have to physically push the lever away from the driver's seat so they can turn off, but once I let go of the lever the problem returns - any help on what I need to do to fix this? thanks, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

There is a pin switch similar to one located in the door jam that works the dome light. It is located below the emergency brake handle. Check this switch- the brake handle pushes against it and breaks it from grounding and working the light.

If all of that does not turn the light off, then you may have a problem with your M/C. Check that next.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) there is a reset button on it. Check for the REAL problem though.

the switch the handbrake hits is on the floor pan support brace that goes from the drivers side door to the passenger side door in front of the seats. It is just a switch like in the door jam that the handbrake lever goes against when down.

Someday I'll have told everybody and people will start saying "Check you M/C for a reset button, some have them." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
