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)

So I have come to the conclusion there is no reset button on the early 2 wire brake switch.

I even tried reversing the connections, but no such luck,

The short term fix is leaving the brown/white signal wire unplugged from the switch. The brake light on the gauge will only be controlled by the hand brake lever.

The long term fix is next time I am under the vehicle. I'm going to swap out the switch with the single pole type with the reset switch.

That is my update for now.
