Edit: Renamed the thread because what started out as one electrical problem has led to others and I'm hoping to capture all the information in this one thread.
Initial Problem: When I turn on the 72, the red light on the dash (in the top part of the gauge on the left side of the dash) blinks and won't stop. I've made sure the e-brake is all the way off. I'm wondering where is the switch that controls this light? I've read that when the brake master cylinder is replaced, there is a switch on the MC that needs to be reset. I used a MC from Rock Auto and there is not reset switch button. Only the electrical switch that activates the brake lights. I have a brown wire that is connected to nothing in the area of the e-brake handle. I've tried grounding it but the light still blinks on the dash. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well now I'm really baffled. I replaced the relay, I reconnected the broken wires, put the bulb back in and now the flasher relay doesn't work at all. The turn signal comes on, but no flashing.
Fuses are good. I hate electrical problems. |
