Bob and I bled the brakes Sunday and they work fine, fluid level is high. While bleeding the resivoir ran real low once.
Today, I just noticed the re light blinking even with the parking brake handle fully down. IIRC, there’s a reset button? But I don’t remember where it is. Attached image(s)

I have also had my parking brake button get flaky. With the brake handle in the up position, reach down and press the button several times and make sure the light goes on and off as it should.

I turned the front wheels full right but didn’t see it; does the belly pan have to be removed 1st ?
Here’s a pic of what I’m looking for….. Attached image(s)

It should have a rubber cap over it.

Shouldn't. Depending on ride height you might not even need to jack the car up. Turn the wheels full lock to the right and you should be able to see the left side of the master cylinder just under the left tie rod. Sensor is on the left side of the master with the reset button sticking out of it. Mine was under a boot. My steering pan also had a hole directly under the sensor that made it easier to see/reach the reset button.

Took the wheel off and found the rubber cap had to reach in with long needle nose plier to get it off.
Then I pushed the reset button. Problem now is I don’t have enough room to reach in to put the wire and cap back on. And, the bolts holding the pan on are frozen. Attached image(s)

Mission accomplished (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) still gotta get the car on a lift to remove the belly pan bolts. And I like the idea of a hole to access the switch
