Brake system warning light after bleedeng clutch.
Hey all,
So I finally got the 911 back on the road! The last thing I had to do was to bleed the clutch due to the new slave cylinder I installed. However now my brake system warning light is lit! ![]() Thanks in advance, Michael

just a couple of thoughts...
Can you remove the reservoir cap and test it with a meter? Fluid level ok? good wire connection on the spade lugs?

Thanks for all the advice! The car does have 4 new pad sensors, I put them in about 6 months ago when I changed the pads. The fluid level is at max and I think I'll try testing the cap on a meter. What should I be looking for as far as readings at the cap? If that is the problem ( I'm leaning that it might be) can you get a replacement cap by itself or do I have to blow a bigger wad and get a new reservoir?
Thanks again, Michael

Is that to force a reset John and Bill?

Next question - is there a "reset" switch on my master cylinder and if so, how do I locate it. Forum was split 50/50 on the subject when I last asked this question. Car is a '75 S targa. Thanks, John, your contributions to the forum are truly appreciated. ![]() --- Tom '75 targa |

master cylinder switch on a '75. pull the wire off and see if the flashing stops.
