so i have a 74 2.0 914
problem: my emergency brake light continues to flash even when i raise the emergency brake. I got pelican parts diagnosis and possible cure but i don't think i have the same switch because i do not see a little plastic button i can switch towards the master cyclinder. see pictures below. BTW: my switch is rusted a lot. there are 2 varieties pelican points out:1: low pressure when pedal is pushed to floor and reset hen lift off floor (I am NOT seeing that) 2: pressure failure and then remains locked until manually reset. WHERE IS THE BUTTON TO RESET IT? I DO NOT SEE IT? check out the 2 pictures.... any other ideas? thanx Niece Attached thumbnail(s) |

That circuit is tricky and works through a series of switched ground including the door switches if that is a 73.
My quess would be: 1. The switch on the e-brake at the MC is corroded and or stuck and needs to be cleaned or replaced. Not all of them have switches 2. Somewhere on the circuit the switched grounds are grounded. In my 73 it turned out to be the door switches which were worn out. The flashing was indicated that with the circuit designed to let me know that the door was ajar or open....analog sytle Check those things. Edit: See the car is a 74. IIRC the circuit works the same way if it is an early 74. |
