When I took the old master cylinder off, these 2 wires were dangling next to it. Do I have the wrong sensor, is there a 2 prong? How can I make this work?
Thanks in advance, John  |

Just tape off one of the brown wires and connect the other. It works fine that way.

Make sure you put a boot over it.

The single prong makes thr circuit through the body of the casting. The dual prong (factory version) had 2 prongs.
When we made our 1st batch of these they were machined just like factory. We couldn't find a 2 pole sensor in the correct size. So we had to use a single. It does exactly the same thing but as I mentioned the circuit is completed differently. The good news is we did find a 2 pole sensor for this next batch we are doing, it just has a different thread than the stock. So it will work on our new ones, but is not retrofit compatible with what we had made. Sorry about that. Just couldn't find one that was a quality part that we could use. |

Thank you If you decide to stick with the current switch, specifically tape off the brown wire, and connect the brown wire with the white stripe to the terminal. |
