Out running errands and when leaving I noticed the brake light blinking. I do use the parking brake a lot. so I pulled it on and off a couple times, no change. The brakes feel normal. Stopped for gas and checked the fluid reservoir, its at the proper level.
Then driving home, after a couple miles the light went off. (?) When I got home it was back on again. I am thinking maybe a wonky parking brake switch. But will check the switch on the master also Is the parking brake switch a Normal Open or Normal Closed? Anyone else have this happen ? Or know of something else I should check.... |

Having just swapped out the pressure regulator in our 74, as usual I forgot to push the button on the MC before taking the test run, and was reminded by the blinking brake warning light.The pressure switch in the Pelican picture does not seem to be the correct switch for a 914. There is definitely a button that needs to be pushed back in once you have done any brake work.
You'll have to drop the pan, and maybe pull the boot back if you have one. If that doesn't turn the light off, I'd put in a new switch unless you see brake fluid where it should not be. Cheers |
