The brake switch on my master cylinder has 2 wires. I didn't see any reset button. When I unplug the brown/white signal wire going to the brake light in the gauge. The brake light will respond accordingly to the hand brake and go out. Before it would stay lit all the time regardless if the handbrake was applied or released.
So the question is how do you reset the brake switch or do I need to bleed the brakes ?? The brake light was working fine until the transport company moved my vehicle. I think the driver may have applied the brakes too hard maybe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Let me know you thoughts. Thanks everyone ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

The reset is on the left side of the master cylinder. You can get at it without lifting the car. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Get a flashlight. It is a small rubber protusion maybe 5mm on the left side. Just push it back in. You also might want to check the switch under the handbrake. It is on the crossmember. It may be stuck, broken or corroded. It is also possible the handbrake is not making contact with the switch and is not pushing the switch down when you put the brake handle down. My gauge light flashes red when the e-brake handle is up.
